I am a graduate student currently pursuing my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree, having previously earned my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with academic honors. My educational background includes extensive coursework in advanced human anatomy, systemic physiology, biomechanics, neuroscience, and exercise physiology, alongside hands-on clinical training. This rigorous academic preparation provides me with an in-depth mastery of complex musculoskeletal structures, neuroanatomy, and functional movement principles that I translate directly into clear, intuitive lessons for my students.
My teaching background centers on my role as a Peer Academic Leader (PAL), where I lead structured study groups and individualized tutoring for fellow students aged 18 to 24. Within this role, I facilitate regular peer review sessions in human anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and kinesiology. Working directly with classmates preparing for demanding exams, I guide peers through anatomical models, break down complex musculoskeletal mechanics, and clarify challenging lecture concepts. This ongoing peer instruction has given me substantial experience diagnosing where learners get stuck and translating dense medical sciences into clear, practical explanations.
My instructional approach centers on replacing passive rote memorization with active recall, spatial reasoning, and clinical application. When breaking down demanding science topics, I utilize digital whiteboard illustrations, three-dimensional modeling, and functional memory frameworks that connect origin, insertion, and innervation details directly to everyday movement patterns. I work collaboratively with each student to identify individual learning hurdles, break down dense syllabi into manageable study goals, and practice targeted exam-style questions. My goal is always to help students build genuine subject mastery, develop efficient study habits, and achieve top grades in their foundational courses.
