Teaching Interests

Teaching anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology at the college level for five years has deepened his enthusiasm for training future providers and being a student advocate. He is particularly passionate about shining a light on the challenges and struggles associated with a career in healthcare that are too-seldom discussed. He hopes as he shares his own journey with students, they will leave his class equipped with tools and habits to expand their own personal health and wellness.
