    Was there something or someone who inspired you to pursue your chosen career path?

    The ISPOR 2018 conference was the catalyst and pivoted my career path towards HEOR, which then brought me to the PhD program at USC. And I must thank Professor Ken Wong for making my dual enrollment in the BPMK program and the PhD program possible. These experiences continue to fuel my interest in this career path.
