Emily Rash is the kind of person you might expect to sport an "I'd Rather Be Kayaking" bumper sticker on the back of her vehicle. But there is not enough room on most cars for stickers to cover all her outdoor interests. The former white-water raft guide also loves rock climbing, hiking, biking, skiing, rafting—"you name it," she says.
Now you can add an indoor venture—health care—to the list of Emily's interests. The former auditor for Ernst & Young, who had always dreamed of launching her own business someday, decided to pursue her MBA in 2008. "Owen was an easy fit for me because I was living in Nashville at the time," says the Middle Tennessee native. "It all made sense."
While specializing in general management and strategy, Emily became more involved in health care. She co-chaired a committee that organized and promoted the Health Care Business Alliance conference at Owen, and served as an MBA intern at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Meanwhile, she steadily expanded her network among Nashville's health care community. It all translates, says the would-be business starter, into "a tremendous opportunity for young health care entrepreneurs."
