Medical Science 10 & 12

Profile

I teach Senior Medical English and Senior Government/Economics, and I’m thrilled to be starting another year at HPHS!

I am passionate about Health and Healthcare as a Social Justice issue, and my students can expect to address questions of equity and access on a regular basis. All of my classes have a strong focus on communication, both written and oral, and each grade level will complete at least one civic action project over the course of the year.
