Question and Answer
Please describe your teaching philosophy.

I take a very active approach with my students. I extend learning beyond the classroom, often bringing in professional experiences and clinical application in order to illustrate a concept. I enjoy getting to know students and help identify their strengths. Graduate school can be overwhelming so I aim to provide information in a calm yet relatable manner. I am here to support the students so they feel empowered and confident.

What advice would you give to a student entering The Chicago School?
