What are you most excited about working in GME?
I am thrilled to play a part in the healthcare world that allows me to solve problems with technology.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I am excited to work in a field that feels important to me and to live geographically close to my family, so for the foreseeable future, I want to dig into GME here in the U and become an expert.
