Q:When you aren't at work, do you prefer to stick to a schedule, or do you prefer to be spontaneous? Why?
A:My workday is very structured because I'm generally in four or five meetings a day. On the weekends, I like to have a plan, but not necessarily a set schedule. That in itself is a relaxing change of pace for me, but I feel I'd be wasting time with no plan at all.
A:Early on, I wanted to be a research physician. Then I spent time in a chemistry lab and realized I wasnt looking forward to the next two years of lab work. That's why I've chosen marketing for medical equipment instead. Itbines my respect for the medical profession with a job that's more suited to my personality.
Q:Describe a movie you've seen that really inspired you.
A:I loved one part of an otherwise depressing movie, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. In one scene the nurse refuses to turn on the TV for the World Series, so Jack Nicholson looks at the blank screen and starts narrating as though the game were actually on. The other patients gather around him and follow the game. I thought that scene was an example of the power of visualization in making things happen.
