Oriana Hua, PT, DPT: Program Director
“The mentorship I received at different points in my educational journey has significantly influenced who and how I am as a clinician and person today. Thus, I strive to provide each student with quality mentorship that will not only lead to career growth but also lead to lasting memories, impacts, and connections.”
Juliana Ktait, PT, DPT: Program Director
“As a PT, I understand that guiding aspiring professionals through mentorship is vital to develop both technical and interpersonal skills necessary for future patient care. Through my journey of becoming a PT, I was fortunate to have supportive mentors that helped me build confidence, ask questions, and learn about myself. I hope to offer the next generation of healthcare professionals that same supportive environment to elevate our profession and ensure excellence for future patients.”
Christen Key, PT, DPT: Program Director
“As a Physical Therapist, my journey has been shaped not just by textbooks and clinical hours, but by the guidance of those who came before me. The mentors in my life have been generous with their time and knowledge, and because of them, I’ve learned how to serve not only my patients but also my profession with purpose.”
Robert Chu, PT, DPT: Mentor Coordinator
“Mentors have shaped my journey to becoming a physical therapist. The experiences were fun, challenging, and enriching. My goal is to help people navigate the process of becoming future clinicians and to build strong foundations for advancing the profession.”
Teresa Ludwig, PT, DPT: Shadowing Coordinator
“I believe loving what you do is essential to career success, and most easily achieved with the ability to experience the profession as much as possible. Unfortunately, the road to becoming a physical therapist can be confusing and my goal is to make entry into the physical therapy realm more accessible starting with providing more opportunities and streamlining the process of shadowing to be seamless and enjoyable to help young professionals gain the opportunity to have enriching hands on experiences within our company and the wonderful mentors we have available.”
