I really love the work that I do. It’s a great honor to do it. The work is incredibly intereseting all the time, Actually, when I was in college, I’m not one of those very mature kids who came out with a plan. I’d grown up in Wasthington DC, my family was not part of the goverment and those elite circles, but I had this thought that I wanted to have a life which was mostly in the private sector, but then to do public service from time to time. And I work at an institution full of highly talented people who are committed to public service. We know that the things that we do really matter for everybody, you known, people and companies. And so I get enormous satisfaction about that.
