How did you decide to pursue the career that you are working in today?
I had been working in the medical field for sometime in two large organizations. I took sometime and really looked at the trajectory I was on and who was around me.

That is how I found Southwest Office Supply, their way of business a lines with how I see doing business and I agree with our values and culture.
