I am a licensed, board-certified physician with formal training in pediatrics, clinical informatics, and biomedical informatics, and I currently serve as the Chief Medical Information Officer for a large academic health system. I also hold an academic appointment as an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Toledo College of Medicine and serve as an academic advisor for students at St. George’s University School of Medicine. My educational background includes an MD, MBA, and MSc, along with advanced training in clinical informatics, healthcare leadership, and medical education. These roles allow me to work closely with learners across multiple stages of training, from pre-medical students to residents and early-career physicians.
I have extensive experience teaching and mentoring in both formal and individualized settings. My work includes classroom instruction, one-on-one academic coaching, and longitudinal advising focused on MCAT preparation, USMLE strategy, clinical reasoning, and career development. I routinely help students strengthen their foundational knowledge, develop effective study systems, and improve test-taking strategies. My approach emphasizes clarity, structure, and application of concepts rather than memorization, and I tailor sessions to each student’s learning style and goals. I have worked with students in classroom settings, small-group discussions, and individualized coaching relationships over many years.
In addition to my academic roles, I serve in a senior leadership position overseeing clinical operations, education, and large-scale projects, which allows me to coach learners in project management, professional development, and career planning. This includes helping trainees understand how to navigate medical training, residency preparation, and long-term career decisions. My teaching style is practical, supportive, and goal-driven, with a focus on building confidence, critical thinking, and long-term success in both exams and professional development.
