Having previously worked in a clinical setting with students I felt a calling to take on a greater role with educating future therapist. When Anderson University announced the decision to develop a Doctorate of Physical Therapy Program I jumped at the opportunity. However, I was still hesitant of no longer treating my patients and being involved in their healing process. One of the best parts of teaching at Anderson University is the encouragement to continue clinical work so now I see patients one day a week and teach the rest of the week. This allows me to continue to make a difference as a clinician as well as an educator.
Anderson University is a nurturing community where students and faculty can grow together in faith and learning.
