...graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles, receiving my degree in Physiology. I moved to Boston to have an adventure before attending medical school for sports medicine.

...learn best by practicing, but it has to be the right kind of practice. Flailing around at something intimidating, where you don't know how to even start, can be discouraging and counterproductive. I try to provide enough scaffolding to make students feel safe exploring, and to try something else if the first approach doesn't work. I also try to teach the process of solving problems, which students can use for themselves as they build confidence....
