The Journey to Remote Medicine
I am a member of the Remote Medical Team because I have a passion for teaching and feel the need to help create the next generation of service minded leaders.
I love all things ocean sport. If it goes in the water...I want to learn it.
Teaching Philosopy
I believe building relationships is a key part to being a successful teacher. Building trust through connection allows for honest sharing of ideas and the ability to be venerable with our learning. My goal is to make people comfortable with the learning and the struggling that comes along with learning new skills.

Why I Choose to Teach
I mostly love teaching with RMT because of the variety of people I come into contact with as students. It is a cross section of people from all over the world. I always end up learning more than the students because of the unique experiences people bring to the program.
