Ha, who is Korean descent, shares some troubling experiences from her young life and some challenges she’s had to overcome and some realizations that she’s had. Dr. de Csepel is married to a woman of Chinese descent and he’s raising two biracial children.

Ha gives high praise to Medtronic leadership. She also shares that the company also has won external recognition in the form of several awards.
