A political science major interested in law, she discovered a love for medicine working in a student job at the University of Chicago medical center. A summer at IBM—where she held her own as an undergraduate among MBA students—helped her realize that if she could bring together business and medicine she would very likely have a fulfilling and rewarding career.
