Overview
I am a physician‑educator specializing in technology‑enhanced learning in the health sciences. With clinical training in Pathology and Internal Medicine and additional expertise in Health Informatics, I bring a data‑informed approach to curriculum design and teaching. My work explores how digital tools and evidence‑based instructional strategies can strengthen engagement and learning for undergraduate health sciences students. I also draw on research experience in population health and project management to support innovative educational initiatives.
