"During pursuit of my doctorate, my professor in my cardiopulmonary disorders class became a mentor to me to inspire me to work with the population that suffers from heart conditions and the importance that physical therapy plays for those patients. He knew that I had a knack for working with that patient population and he let me know that, which inspired me to specialize with that population."
