In the Classroom, I treat each course as a shared project where curiosity drives learning and mutual respect shapes discussion. I encourage students to test ideas, question assumptions, and connect material to their own experience, whether we are working through Medicare financing or a current debate over health coverage. I design activities that go past lecture, including case simulations, low-stakes writing, and small-group problem solving, because practice builds confidence and deeper understanding. Clear goals, timely feedback, and steady guidance make it possible for every student to take part. I want students to leave able to read a policy, judge the evidence behind it, and explain what it would mean for the populations they serve.
