  • My Story

    I am continuously amazed by the complexity and the beauty of Gods creations, especially the human body. My desire to learn how the body works began early in my schooling, eventually morphing into a desire to learn how to make it work more efficiently (Master of Exercise Physiology), and then how to repair the broken body (Master of Medical Science). After several years in clinical practice and working through the sleep-deprivation of having two young children, I crossed paths with a person who introduced me to this opportunity to teach at 51勛圖. Since my arrival at 51勛圖, I have worked hard to combine my experience as a clinician with newly learned skills of an educator to provide the students with the foundation they need to succeed in their careers.

    Favorite Course to Teach: Problem Based Learning is my favorite course to teach because I love seeing how much a group of people can accomplish when we work together as a team to solve a problem. Every part of the team has something unique to contribute. The setting of the course is perfect for building clinical competence and personal confidence.
