Today’s spotlight: Trish Gulbranson
Title: Founder and CEO, Derma Health Skin & Laser

Source of pride: “Starting my own business! I was gainfully employed as a software executive, so it meant leaving the security of a high-paying career in the software industry to follow my passion.”
The personality trait that helped you succeed: “Perseverance. No matter what the obstacles are, my philosophy is to always ‘find a way.’ I don’t give up.”
The personality trait that got you into trouble: “I think things through non-emotionally and I do it in my head. It’s amplified in stressful situations and people can have a hard time reading me. I am learning to verbalize more frequently.”
Best childhood memory: “Spending time in my teens with my horse, Nico. I would go to the large pasture at the north end of town, shake a bucket of oats and Nico would come galloping over the hills to enjoy the grain and then we would enjoy a long ride.”
