Why Are You Running For This Position?
I am running for this position because I want to see more people become involved in the Neurology Section. My experiences as an academician and clinician give me a broad perspective on how physical therapists in different settings and roles can contribute to our profession. Through my leadership positions within the APTA, the university, and community organizations I have developed the organizational and communication skills needed for this position. If elected to the nominating committee, I will do my best to fulfill my duties and to promote the mission of the Neurology Section.
