Biography
Teaching students is a passion of mine. I enjoy those moments when a student “gets” a concept and I can see the light bulb above their head light up. My teaching philosophy is to help students fundamentally understand the basic sciences behind the clinical applications rather than just making them memorize everything. Solidifying these core principles allows students utilize their knowledge on patients most effectively and appropriately.
