Fast Facts
I began my AU career hopeful that this was a place where I would fit; where my intellectual strengths were a good match for the rigors of the science department and my faith was nurtured and allowed to grow.
I wish prospective students knew that really learning science requires understanding, not memorization.
I am a licensed physical therapist and am completing a second doctorate degree in bioengineering, focusing on skeletal muscle regeneration.
I find the students to be bright both intellectually and otherwise. They are, by and large, delightful to teach.
My areas of specialty incude human anatomy and physiology and regenerative medicine.
