After Ginger Sloan had her first daughter, she was determined to work from home. On a whim, she answered a radio ad to become a medical transcriptionist, quickly finishing coursework and embarking on a new career.

She grew a solo operation into Encore Medical Services, with a team of transcriptionists providing medical clients with rapid turnaround for their transcription needs. She’s learned the ups and downs of being a woman in the business world, gaining diligence in who to connect with for growing a business. Sloan shares these tips and more with businesswomen from Rwanda and Afghanistan through the Peace Through Business program. She cherishes these experiences and has much to share how she’s connected with these women through their shared experiences.
