Teaching Focus:
I am currently working
with freshmen
students who desire to major in the associated sub disiplines within
the
Life Sciences (Pre-Medicine, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy
Dentistry). In addition, I work with elementary education

These teams are an interdisciplinary association of science and

tools
