Her chapter covers her business background and includes parent testimonials about her swim school. Born and raised in Taiwan, where my grandfather was the only den- tist in the small town my brother and I grew up in, I came to America almost 40 years ago. Dentistry runs in our blood where my brother became a dentist, and I would own and manage a dental practice. As the owner, managing partner of Cute Smiles 4 Kids & Orthodon- tics, I'm passionate about the dental health of children that I believe should have access to quality dental care in a fun, safe environment. I've helped grow our dental practices from the ground up with offices in Phoenix, Arizona and San Antonio, Texas. We provide underprivi- leged children with top-notch dental care in a state-of-the-art office. Passionate about the health of children, and communities I do busi- ness in, my newest 'baby' is my Goldfish Swim School. I'm excited to be part of this franchise which is more than just a swim school! Before becoming an entrepreneur, I was a pharmaceutical represen- tative with GlaxoSmithKline. And before that, a Senior Sales Associate with Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management in Century City, Cal- ifornia, assisting a broker trade over 1 millions shares of stocks a day. My undergraduate degree is from the University of California, San Diego, and I achieved my MBA from the University of Southern Cali- fornia while working full time at Morgan Stanley. My education and experiences are what prepared me to role model to my two children WHY their mother is excelling at WHAT in business. As a founding board member of Bloom Development, a nonprofit or- ganization geared towards developing women future leader I can gen- uinely impart meaningful insights which I hope educates and inspires. When not enterprising, I am a mother of two wonderful children, I have a passion for food, and am a member of the Chaine des Rotis- seurs, the oldest food and wine society in the world. I weight lift as much as possible to stay healthy, and enjoys public speaking, travel- ing, movies, and hanging out with my family. ### WHAT OTHERS SAY *"My daughter had a real fear of the* *water.
