Why I love to teach:
I have a great love of learning and learned this at a young age from the
example of my father. My father has a passion for teaching---he taught
Chemistry at the Air Force Academy and for various other colleges. He
also taught neighborhood kids math and science. He continues to still
teach to this day even in his retirement, but now is teaching about gardening
and leads the Master Gardener Association. My 3 year old son knows every
plant and vegetable thanks to my father’s teaching.
Medicine is forever changing with new updates, medications, guidelines,
and recommendations for best practice. I enjoy being in the Residency
Program where I can keep up on the latest evidence-based information.
What better way to learn than to teach!
Professional Interests:
I enjoy leading and teaching. I enjoy all aspects of family medicine and
see patient of all ages and practice full spectrum care including Obstetrics.

Why I love to teach:
Teaching at Kadlec Family Medicine Residency provides an opportunity to
see the growth of newly-minted physicians into independently practicing
physicians. As a faculty member, it is a privilege to observe resident
physicians increase their medical knowledge and find their practice style.
Teaching resident physicians occasionally creates the opportunities to
coach them through difficulties and it is very rewarding to see those
resident physicians overcome their challenges. I have been able to see
our very first class of residents graduate and I look forward to many
more graduation ceremonies!

Why I love to teach:
I have been blessed with resources, access, and a level of privilege that
has allowed me great latitude in the pursuit of my academic interests.
I feel that helping guide others through their journey is a way of paying
back that debt in-kind with mentorship, instruction, and grace to explore.
I find joy in the shared experience of discovery. When life experiences
and study ignite the fires of new knowledge or new connections, as an
educator I get to share in that moment and often receive the gift of new insights.
Medicine is a dynamic and complex area of study that is built upon a foundation
of extensive knowledge and the proliferation of possibilities in its technical
application. My journey has brought me to this place to cultivate and
nurture others in their growth as healers. I am grateful that, through
teaching, I also will continue to evolve as a physician and educator in
order to better serve my patients and the community at large.

Why I love to teach:
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish
and you feed him for a lifetime." This proverb is significant because
it illustrates the power of a teacher. My parents were my first teachers,
and I have and continue to learn, many important lessons from their journeys
and sacrifices for our family. There have also been many other influential
teachers in my life and I soon came to realize the value I could add to
someone's life by teaching. Not only does teaching offer the opportunity
to help someone else, but it also reinforces what I know. What's more,
I often walk away learning something too. There is always room to grow,
that is why I love teaching and chose to become part of a teaching team.
Helping to inspire and mold our newest physicians is a privilege and responsibility
that I am thrilled to be a part of in this new chapter of my career.
Professional Interests:
Professional Interests: Women's health, Community medicine, lifestyle medicine.

the community.

Why I love to teach:
It has always been important to me to empower myself and others as much
as possible, and knowledge is one of the greatest sources of empowerment.
Not to mention that sharing what I am passionate about with others is
invigorating and motivates me to continue learning so that I never run
out of information and skills to share with others that they can use as
they go forth in their own lives and careers.
Professional Interests:
In addition to teaching, I enjoy working with all ages to address a variety
of daily and long-term behavioral and mental health concerns with the
goal of providing skills and knowledge that my patients can use in their
everyday lives for the rest of their lives.
