My father would have to drive me to the PTA meetings, and sometimes they were four to five hours. He would joke that he would get a cut from my paycheck. Were you the first in the family to go to an Ivy League school?
ML: My father went to Columbia. I loved Harvard. It was my dream. I think that is one of the reasons why I was willing to take the risk of going into TV news. It seemed like the career that had the most unsure path to success. I was willing to take it because of this notion that if I made it there then I can do this and I can do that; I can do whatever I set my mind too.
We are just doing different things. My sister is a lawyer with the Department of Justice. She is six years older than I and she is just sort of a trailblazer regarding her career path.
My parents wanted a lawyer and a doctor in the family. She is a lawyer, and I was supposed to be the doctor. I thought I was going to be the doctor. In high school, in addition to liking journalism, I did all sorts of lab research over the summers. I had this real interest, and I was good at science and math too.

Lee is a married woman, and she manages a beautiful family with her husband and twins.
Being a consultant gave me a front row seat to many different kinds of businesses and the difficult choices executives have to make. I worked on cases in industries including credit cards, banks, and magazine publishing.
I learned how to put together PowerPoint presentations and build financial models on very little sleep. These are the experiences I draw on when reporting news today. How do you manage the workflow?
