What is your teaching style?
我的教学风格旨在创造一个充满活力的课堂，培养批判性思维，提高物理治疗学生的整体临床决策能力. 我希望我在课堂上“亲力亲为”的教学方式能让学生们获得既有意义又愉快的教育体验. 我也热衷于让学生参与体验式服务学习，这对学生和社区成员都有积极的影响.
Why do you do what you do?
我喜欢通过与学生一起工作，对物理治疗专业产生更广泛的影响，并为推动物理治疗专业的研究做出贡献. Throughout my graduate and professional career, 我对无数的导师产生了深深的感激，他们激励我成为最好的临床医生, researcher, and person I can be every day. I could not be where I am today without them. 我希望推动物理治疗领域的发展，改善无数人的生活质量, 我希望激励我的学生成为杰出的临床医生，让世界变得更美好.
How do you make learning engaging?
我试图通过创建案例场景来使学习更具吸引力, classroom discussions, 以及促进主动学习的实验室活动. When I design these learning activities, 我经常从我自己的临床经验中汲取灵感，创造现实生活中的例子，并通过这些例子与我的学生一起工作.
What should students know about you?
我喜欢旅行，户外活动，和我父母的狗莫莉一起玩!
