Q. What have you gained from working at Ascend?

Q. Before working at Ascend, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?

A. I was previously a research assistant at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. I was an undergrad mechanical engineering major, so I worked in the biomechanics lab measuring the effects of osteoporosis on the density and tensile strength of tibiae. I literally had the chance to break bones in the name of research.

Q. What is one thing that people are surprised to find out about you?

A. People are most surprised to find out that I have been a professional gospel singer for more than a decade. I have had the great fortune of recording with my choir and having my voice featured on a song!
