align="left"> <strong>How did you end up in health care? </strong>As a youth, while accompanying my grandparents on their visits to nursing homes to sing and play piano to the nursing home residents, I would spend time with the nursing home administrator and became interested in the running of a nursing home. From those experiences, I knew I wanted to work in healthcare administration because I knew I had a passion to want to make a difference. When I came on active duty in the Army and expressed my interest in being a hospital administrator, the Army sent me to graduate school to get my MHA.  </li> <li align="left"> <strong>What is the biggest challenge you are facing in your job? </strong>Dealing with the known and uncertain challenges of healthcare reform.  </li> <li align="left"> <strong>Who has been your biggest inspiration in your career and why: </strong>Major General (Retired) Gale Pollock, former acting and deputy surgeon general for the U.S. Army. She was the first female and non-physician acting Army surgeon general. She helped promote non-physicians in senior hospital leadership positions in the Army. She is a real visionary and true maverick. She was a great mentor and leader who led by example and supported my professional growth.  </li> <li align="left"> <strong>What would you be doing if you weren't in health care? </strong>Coaching youth sports. My other passion is mentoring youth.</li> <li align="left"> <strong>I can't believe I did this: </strong>Moved 24 times in my life (military brat and retired Colonel)!</li> <li align="left"> <strong>Dream retirement: </strong>Living six months of the year on the North Shore of Honolulu, Hawaii, golfing every morning, followed by a quick swim in the Pacific Ocean.
