MDS’ Wichita State University Coop Student … Sydney Blanton!

Sydney Blanton’s experience atMDS of Kansas, a 22-year-old Kansas grown, document service business specializing in healthcare documentation, has been beneficial since the beginning. “Since day one, I have been helping with the marketing and growth of the business through forming and organizing potential client lists, brainstorming and working with direct mailers and newsletters, making cold calls, and working on the business Facebook and Twitter page,” said Sydney, a senior at WSU majoring in entrepreneurship and management.

This experience has giving her the opportunity see both the management and entrepreneurship side of starting and running a successful business. “I see that running your own business requires a strong, motivated, unique person with the drive and energy to see it grow.

I have learned a lot about what kind of work environment I would like to be a part of,” said Sydney.
