Attraction to career: “I was attracted to a career as a financial executive starting with a love for numbers. I had fun with them. I enjoyed them. They spoke to me and they made sense. I was able to help people understand those numbers and not everybody does. I work with a lot of highly educated people and helping them understand numbers allowed me to build into a career.”
