Abby Goodman Molina Healthcare: Scottsdale Childhood

Abby Goodman is an IT Manager at Molina Healthcare, a managed care company based in Long Beach, California. Abby Goodman Molina Healthcare was born in Los Angeles and spent the first few years of her life there, but moved with her parents to Scottsdale, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix, when she was in the first grade. She recalls an almost idyllic childhood.

“I was fortunate that our neighbors had kids the same age, so we all grew up together and became good friends throughout our childhood until we went off for college. Had a great childhood, growing up playing basketball in the front yard, bike riding, rollerblading, playing hide and go seek, and going down to the greenbelt to play tag until dinner time. 

I was a social butterfly throughout middle school and high school so I always had friends over and I loved coordinating sleepovers and parties. I was the planner of my friends.” Her parents still live in that house, she says, and their neighbors are their best friends.

Later on, she attended the University of Arizona in Tucson, Scottsdale Community College, and Arizona State University in Tempe, where she earned a degree in Recreation and Tourism Management. Abby Goodman has worked for Molina Healthcare since November of 2015.
