Teaching Interests

 My teaching interest is in the field of healthcare and adult education. I am excited to be in the role of educating our future healthcare providers, leaders and researchers.

I have spent my entire private sector career in medicine/healthcare, the majority of the time in senior management, executive management, as well as HR management. I have been with TXST (adjunct faculty) since 2013 and am thrilled to have become full time faculty in Fall 2023. In of May in 2024, I left the private sector to focus on academia.
