  • Tammi Marks: Product Manager, IT Clinical Applications to Owner of Beauty Marks Aesthetics
    In this episode of Clocking Out, host Raymond Lee sits down with Tammi Marks, a seasoned healthcare professional who recently took a bold step toward fulfilling her lifelong passion. After a 30-year career spanning clinical roles and healthcare IT, Tammi found herself at a crossroads when she was unexpectedly laid off from her position at Common Spirits. Rather than letting this setback define her, she embraced it as an opportunity to "clock out" of her former role and dive into something she had always dreamed of: aesthetics.

    In this episode, Tammi shares her candid experience with the challenges of being laid off, offering valuable insights on navigating career redirection with resilience and optimism. Since January 2023, she has built a thriving business in aesthetics, becoming certified in neuromodulators and fillers and learning from industry experts. Tammi’s journey from OR Nursing and Clinical Informaticist roles to entrepreneurship in aesthetics is a powerful example of how embracing uncertainty can lead to unexpected fulfillment.

    Tune in to hear how Tammi transformed a moment of loss into an inspiring new chapter, carving her path with passion and purpose. This conversation is perfect for anyone looking to make a career pivot or turn a challenging setback into an opportunity for growth.
