I am a certified physician assistant with a strong interest in becoming an instructor in the health sciences. I have pursued a doctorate to learn the necessary skills to provide high quality education, and I have twenty-six years of clinical experience to draw my lessons from. It is my desire to teach in an institution which understands the value of experience in education and allows innovation in the classroom to help the student grow. I believe that problem-based learning, in conjunction with inquiry and experiential learning, allows for a well-rounded learning experience which translates well into real-world problem-solving abilities.
