I believe that medicine, faith, and caregiving belong in the same conversation — so I help students and families build the knowledge and compassion to truly show up when it matters most.

I've spent my career at the intersection of places most people keep separate: the clinic and the chapel, the textbook and the bedside, the anatomy lab and the grief room. That unusual territory — medicine, theology, psychology, and caregiving. It is at the intersection of each of these where I've done my deepest work, and it's what every one of my schools reflects.

My teaching philosophy is simple: complexity deserves clarity, and every learner deserves to be treated like an intelligent adult. Whether I'm walking a PA student through pharmacokinetic principles or helping a family caregiver understand what sundowning actually looks like at 8 in the evening, I try to make the difficult genuinely graspable — not dumbed down, but well-lit. I build courses the way I wish I'd been taught: structured, specific, and always anchored to what you'll actually do with that knowledge.

The range of my schools isn't an accident. A death doula needs emotional skill and clinical awareness. A dementia caregiver needs practical tools and spiritual resilience. A PA student needs board-ready pharmacology and the art of a patient interview. Real life doesn't honor disciplinary silos, and neither do I.

If any of these schools speak to where you are right now — whether you're studying for the PANCE, sitting with a loved one in memory care, exploring Wesleyan theology, or trying to understand your own dreams — I'd be glad to be your guide. Come in, take your time, and let's do serious work together.
