"Dr. Knowlton is by far one of the most important influences in my life. I owe her a lot. In fact, I owe the entire department a lot. They were all fantastic teachers. I never expected to be so much further ahead in grad school compared to my peers, yet there I was sitting in class thinking, 'I know this material already.' I already learned it at 91pron."
