Biography

Teaching Interests

As an educator in the medical and graduate schools at 黑料官网, I am involved in teaching and course directing in Phase 1 and Phase 3 of the 黑料官网Fusion Curriculum. I am also one of the anatomy lab teaching faculty. Additionally, I facilitate small group discussions for M1/M2 students in the Clinical and Translational Science Scholarly Concentrations and in Patient-Based Discussions for Phase 1 and Phase 2 students. I aim to create an inclusive learning environment for all of my students where they can discuss ideas openly and get questions answered as they continue on their knowledge journey.

Research Interests

I am interested in working on scholarly projects in teaching methodologies related to the anatomical sciences and the musculoskeletal system. Projects I am interested in include curriculum design, gamifying anatomy identification for review purposes, devising review activities and developing virtual dissection tools. I serve as an advisor and mentor for students in the Clinician Educator Scholarly Concentration and am open to taking new students.
