Human Antomy & Physiology I & II (BIO 150 and BIO 151) I enjoy teaching Human Anatomy and Physiology for many reasons. Most of all, I enjoy discussing the relevance that it has to everyday life. Whether my students are future healthcare professionals or just taking the class as an elective, there is something for everyone. The A&P sequence not only enhances students鈥� prior knowledge of how our bodies work but also helps them to develop critical thinking skills that will not only serve them as they continue their education in an academic environment but as a consumer of healthcare as well.
Degrees
- Ph.D. Anatomy, Temple University School of Medicine
- M.S. Biomedical Sciences, Barry University
- B.S. Science, Life Science Option, Pennsylvania State University
- B.S. Spanish, Applied Option, Pennsylvania State University
Academic Biography
My doctoral work required me to complete specific projects in three general areas: anatomy and cell biology, educational psychology, and using technology as an educational tool. I have published in the anatomical sciences (focusing on anatomical variations and their application to the clinical sciences) and in the educational psychology area (related to teaching, learning, and assessment).

Scholarly Interests
- My scholarly interests include the science of learning and best practices for educators. I am also interested in finding pathways and creating opportunities for students to be successful in both the science and healthcare fields.
