"I have an avid interest in diabetic foot disease, which I developed when volunteering in a nursing home after high school. The connection between such a terrible disease and the foot can make for a devastating deterioration of one's quality of life. Once I realized that, I wanted to do what I could for this crippling condition."

"I've been very invested in athletics since I was young, and the usual injuries that come with that have given me an appreciation for the maintenance of the human body such that I wanted to be part of that science and expertise."
