What is your teaching style?
I take a clinical approach to teaching, threading clinical applications and correlations throughout.
Why do you do what you do?
I feel it is an honor and a privilege to be able to help the next generation of physical therapists hone their skills.
How do you make learning engaging?
I integrate examples from my current clinical practice into the classroom and part-time clinical experiences to make learning real. Through coordination of the part-time clinical experiences, which are sprinkled throughout the curriculum, I give students the opportunity to actively practice the clinical skills they are learning in the classroom on real “patients”.
What should students know about you?
I encourage students to set their bar high, because I have all the confidence that they can achieve all their dreams and aspirations. And I will do all I can to help them succeed.
