  • Philosophy

    · I believe the main responsibility of a teacher is to encourage and inspire. I always try to truly understand my students’ strengths and weaknesses along with their perspective on learning and the material which they strive to master. In doing so, I hope to learn how to encourage and inspire them to keep working hard and to develop a deep passion for the material which they strive to master.

    · I am interested in research on the effects of OMT on the cardiovascular system.

  • Narrative

    · My passion for Osteopathic Medicine began after I attended one of WesternU’s preview days and became more familiar with the core principles of Osteopathic Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment. Once I learned about the NMM/OMM Pre-Doctoral teaching fellowship, which would allow me to combine my passions for teaching and OMM, my path became clear. I am greatly humbled to have been selected and I truly appreciate the opportunity that I have been granted to deepen my knowledge of OMM and grow as an individual.
