"I hold a Master of Science in Integrative Physiology from the University of Colorado Boulder and a Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology from the University of Iowa. My academic background centers on human anatomy, physiology, and clinical sciences, and I’ve spent the past several years teaching and mentoring students in these subjects both in the classroom and lab settings.

As a Graduate Teaching Assistant and later a Lecturer for the University of Colorado’s Human Anatomy course, I led cadaver-based anatomy instruction for large undergraduate classes, helping students connect structural knowledge to real clinical applications. I developed hands-on lab exercises, guided dissections, and created approachable explanations for complex systems like the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. My teaching style focuses on clarity, engagement, and curiosity—using visual models, analogies, and interactive questioning to help students truly understand rather than memorize.

Across my academic and professional experiences, I’ve worked with students from diverse backgrounds and varying levels of familiarity with science—from first-year undergraduates to pre-med and allied health students. I take pride in creating a supportive learning environment that meets students where they are, builds confidence, and makes learning anatomy and physiology enjoyable and rewarding." less...
