ColumbiaDoctors Ophthalmology February 2025 Employee of the Month: Wendolyn Gamboa

Congratulations to Wendolyn Gamboa for being selected as the Employee of the Month for February 2025.

Every month, we honor an employee who has consistently demonstrated excellence, contributing significantly to our collective success. Their superb work ethic and dedication deserve special recognition, and we endeavor to showcase their stellar performance. This includes qualities such as teamwork, leadership, innovation, and dedication. This month, we have selected Wendolyn!

Wendolyn Gamboa has been a valued member of the Department of Ophthalmology for over three years. She is a problem-solver and possesses dynamic leadership abilities. Wendolyn is the perfect embodiment of emotional intelligence, adaptability, teamwork, and efficiency.

She has always had a passion for helping others, which led her to a career in the medical field. She began her career as a Medical Assistant, and after 17 years in this capacity, she transitioned to a more administrative role, where she has worked for six years. Wendolyn found this professional lateral movement both rewarding and fulfilling. Throughout this journey, Wendy (as she is affectionately called by her coworkers) has embraced learning and growth and finds joy in her work every day.

Outside of work, Wendy is a fan of the classic film Dirty Dancing (1987). One fun fact about our star employee is that she went on a roller coaster once many years ago. She was traumatized by the experience and vowed never to do it again!

Once again, we congratulate her on all her contributions to the success of our department!
