Board of Directors Introductions

Glenda Rivera, MBA, CCA

Past President

Hi, my name is Glenda Rivera and I am a native in this beautiful state. I have 4 step-children and 12 grandchildren that live in Lubbock, so I go back and forth often so that keeps me quite busy. I believe that our path in life is fast and try to take any opportunity to make a memory.

I have been in the Healthcare Finance industry for over 30 years now and have worked in about every facet of the Revenue Cycle. I continue to learn new stuff and love Healthcare because there is always something different. I have been the Billing Director of UNM Health System in Albuquerque since 2019 and before that was the Revenue Cycle Director for Mountain View in Las Cruces for 15 years.

I am so excited for the upcoming year to engage our members to make your membership something to be proud of and works for you!

My name is Krysia Weaver, I live in Cedar Crest New Mexico, and I am currently pursuing an associate degree in health information management. I began my journey toward the health information field in 2020 when I decided to transition from massage therapy to explore options in the healthcare industry. I have a deep interest in anatomy, physiology and healthcare, these interests coupled with a talent for medical terminology, planning, organizing and advocacy have led me to dive deeper into the HIM field. My role as student board member began Fall of 2022, working with the other HIM professionals on the NMHIMA board is teaching me about project management, team building, AHIMA principles and HIM networking. It is a wonderful experience belonging to a team of people from all corners of New Mexico working together to benefit our state.
