"A couple of people have been inspiring to me, in my psychology career. My father, a pediatrician, has been my inspiration and mentor throughout my childhood, adulthood, and career. He has always encouraged me and pushed me to be the best doctor that I could be. Second, my more specific mentor is one of my former professors who I met when completing my doctorate. She is a brilliant individual and taught me to think about a problem or situation in a hundred different ways. I am thankful to have a couple of great mentors and influencers who have helped to shape who I am."
