Faculty

I teach with a simple principle: people learn best when they are actively thinking, not just listening.

I design sessions that are structured, interactive, and grounded in real-world use. Whether the topic is clinical, organizational, or systems-based, the goal is the same: clarity, engagement, and lasting understanding.

I have taught across multiple settings, including dental and orthodontic education, medical education, and graduate public health programs (PhD, DrPH, MPH, MHA).
