She began working in her father's medical office on Saturdays when she was 9 and has done every job in a medical office that there is including receptionist, medical assistant, janitor, and all the way to physician owner.

She has interviewed with CNN's Martin Savage and NBC's Ronan Farrow about Healthcare Consolidation, an issue which is near and dear to her heart.
