问:对你决定成为一名医生影响最大的是什么?
A:  While my journey here has been challenging at times and I continue to struggle with work-life balance of being a working mom to twin boys, I wouldn’t change a thing.  从我记事起，我就一直想成为一名医生.  虽然并不是一件特别的事情让我做出了这个决定, I just know that ever since I was little and my family asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, the answer was always a doctor.  在我上大学的过程中，我考虑过在科学领域从事其他职业.  我花了两个暑假和一位肿瘤学家在圣. Louis mostly involved in research.  然而，他每周会让我跟着他去他的诊所一次.  I remember being in awe of the relationships that he had with his patients and the trust they placed in his care for them.  This was ultimately what drove me to choose a career in medicine, the physician-patient relationship.  在今天的实践中，我仍然非常重视这一点.

Q:  Do you have any words of encouragement for a young girl or a woman who wishes to dream big just as you have? 
A:  "I have been very blessed to have unwavering support of my family throughout the arduous process of becoming a physician.  我特别记得高中的一个老师(不是一个很好的老师:), telling me that I would never make it as a physician and that as a female I would “hit the glass ceiling”. 在我的一生中，我得到了许多其他老师无休止的支持, 这个挑战一直困扰着我.  With unending amounts of hard work and support from my family and many other teachers along the way, 我成功地完成了我的目标.  I would tell any young females that the key to success is believing in yourself and your dream, 相信相信你的家人和朋友, and a lot of hard work."
