Teaching Interests

My clinical interest includes point-of-care ultrasound and the field of diagnostic medical sonography in general. After completing my doctoral degree in education with a concentration in curriculum and instruction in 2019, I have a renewed interest in the process of developing and implementing curriculum for all levels of higher education.
