Her mother is who encouraged her to become a doctor. Dr. Harper chose obstetrics and gynecology after seeing a need to help women from teen years to menopause. By choosing obstetrics and gynecology, she could work to treat women for various medical issues but more importantly empower them in knowledge of the bodies.
