-: So my name is Jeannine Salamone.
I am a director
at the American Society of Clinical Oncology,
which is the world's leading professional society
that represents oncology professionals and physicians
who treat people with cancer.
And I manage our patient advocate programs,
so that's in our Communications
and Patient Information department at ASCO.
In a word, it's very fulfilling.
It was important for me to have a job
that I felt fulfilled and challenged
and that stretched me a bit.
So I'm very grateful for it.
I don't take it for granted.
I realize that there were a series of circumstances
that led to my career being where it is today,
and I reflect back on it all the time,
and I don't take it for granted.
