Can you kind of talk about that arc of the career and those different areas? Was that intentional is something I always wonder also.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
But my first job in bioanalysis was at BioMarin, which is a rare disease, and under Gary Taniguchi.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
And why that job? I had made a determination at my previous job, ALSA, I had a mentor who told me, you know what, Jolene, you really should look at development jobs, not research jobs.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
Because what frustrates you about research jobs is that you have a less direct connection to patients.
Joleen WhiteGUEST
You have this attention to detail that is really well suited to development, and I think you'd thrive there.
