"I really enjoy teaching four courses to first-year Threshold students each year: Medical World, Adult Sexuality, Understanding Learning Strengths and Challenges, and Pathways to Health. Through my teaching, I have the chance to encourage students to get to know themselves better and to speak up. I enjoy seeing students become more self-confident and at ease with themselves. I believe that when students accept themselves and are realistic about their strengths and challenges, they are more able to make positive and wise choices in life."
