"Health promotion and education is a dynamic field because it provides professors with the chance to teach students about key health issues. I incorporate these topics and their significance in my classroom because I want students to understand these health priorities and challenge themselves to fill the gap between learning and practice."

What do you want students to take away from your classes?
Health promotion and education is a dynamic field because it provides professors with the chance to teach students about key health issues. I incorporate these topics and their significance in my classroom because I want students to understand these health priorities and challenge themselves to fill the gap between learning and practice. My students may come from a variety of disciplines. However, it is my goal that they learn how their unique backgrounds can be utilized for health planning and evaluation.
Why did you start teaching?
I started teaching because I love to see the development of students as they make progress in their academic journey! I believe that there are so many opportunities to learn with and from each other, and I find enjoyment when I see my students use their knowledge and experience to make a positive impact in their lives and the lives of others.
