| I began my full-time career at the University of Mary in 1998 after working as a clinician for several years and have served as the director of clinical education since 2002. I also initiated, and have annually led, numerous groups of PT students to Guatemala for a service-learning experience. I strongly believe in the importance of involving students in service to the community during their educational experience.
