My path in life has been direct
1.
In high school, she was able to do a work-study program at Westinghouse Electric.
2.
Thought she wanted to be an engineer before she took this internship.
3.
After spending time programming and crunching numbers in a cubicle, she realized she was on the wrong path.
4.
Discovered that her passion was working with people, and that led her to exploring the field of medicine.
5.
Now operates her own surgery center in Beverly Hills and makes appearances on the television show, Dr. 90210.
6.
Says she never knew for sure that she was making the right career choice-"you just take a blind leap of faith."
7.
Believes that if you take that leap and realize you made the wrong choice, "there's no shame in changing pathways."
8.
Says she "wasn't put on this earth to be a miserable person," so she puts her happiness first.
