What brought you to healthcare? Can you tell us about your professional journey?
I have always been interested in healthcare. In my earlier years I applied to and got accepted to nursing school. I decided it was not the right career path for me. However, I have remained interested in healthcare ever since, and have found the administrative side of healthcare to be a very rewarding career.
