I was first introduced to the concept of transcendent work by my family. My father, an aeronautical engineer, never lost his enthusiasm for working at McDonnell Douglas. My mother took pride in creating a beautiful and orderly home. My grandparents espoused a simple creed: “To rise each day and do one’s work is God’s greatest blessing.” Personal experience underscores the value and rewards of work. But, not all work is equal. Only transcendent work lifts the spirit and gives meaning to the vicissitudes and vagaries of life. This is, indeed, the soul of work. I am fortunate to have found opportunities to utilize the academic training which took decades to complete: BA (English Literature - UCLA), MSLS (Library Science - USC), MPA (Public Administration - USC), and PhD (Public Administration - USC). My present position as Loss Control Coordinator in UCLA Medical Center’s Risk Management Department exemplifies transcendent work at its best.
