Get to know Jackie

What are some of your hobbies outside of work? I love to write and travel, but mostly I would say I love to spend time fishing with my husband.

What is your favorite thing about your job?  Oh, definitely the people. I feel so privileged to work for this organization and work along side some of the best in the field of healthcare. 

What sort of blogs/news channels do you follow? CNN – World News

If you weren’t in finance, what would your dream job be? I always wanted to be a family law attorney.

Where did you grow up/where is your family from? I was born in Yokahama Japan. I was raised by a Japanese maid, Tokason. Mom had to work and dad was in the Navy (gone all the time).  So, needleless to say, I spoke Japanese fluently and not English growing up. Tokason could not speak any English.

What is the hottest trend in your industry? To have an interactive patient portal – what else?  :-D
