Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philospophy is to teach using many different methods, so the information can be absorbed by people with all different styles of learning. I love to learn and appreciate those that also love knowledge. My ultimate goal, though, is to learn and teach in a way that the knowledge can be translated to skills that will be used to improve health and quality of life. In other words, I want students to create action and make a contribution to the world with the knowledge and skills they develop.
