>> I am committed to a career in non-profits.
My first job was at a public library when I was 14, and I stood next to volunteers,
and we returned books to shelves.
It was then when I really realized that I have to do something that I love,
and so a career in non-profits, it's very easy to get out of the bed in the morning
because it's very easy to believe in what you're doing, you know,
making a difference, and so that's important to me.
My biggest challenge in this role is that I don't have a medical background.
You hear all kinds of crazy terms: aortic, bicuspid valve or stenosis, whatever.
I don't have that, and I actually have to WebMD a lot of those terms.
But that said, you know, I think that my background and just knowing how to read
and figure things out, I can most of the time work through it.
