How did you get started in O&P?

By accident. I answered an ad posted for an orthotic technician to work in a lab in the basement of Georgetown University. The company happened to be owned by Van Sabel.

Why did you stick with it?

Actually, I left and got a teaching degree but I soon decided I wanted to do something in the medical field, so I went back to work for Van again.

Chocolate chip. Everyone likes a chocolate chip cookie.

James Bond--Die Another Day.

What would you say to someone who asked your advice about going into O&P?

It is an excellent career with great professional and growth opportunities.
