“What’s the world for you if you can’t make it up for the way you want?”- Toni Morrison

“There are years that ask questions and years that answer it”- Zora Neale Hurston.

I am a woman of literature, and I’ve always found comfort in conforming myself within the norms of the rules.  I’ve always told myself I had the answers to my career, confining myself to a single career path and abandoning my passions. The two quotes above signify the experience ATLAS have given me: the power in juxtaposing my love for medicine and its integration with finance allows me to craft my own narrative. Because of ATLAS, I know I can have a career in both medicine and finance without compromising my identity.
