Tell us why you became a teacher

To inspire the next generation of physicians. I deeply understand the difficult and challenging journey they face and the invaluable role a mentor and guiding light can play in their lives. The gratitude they show day in and day out continues to reinforce my journey in medical education.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

After I taught about EKGs, I received an email from a first year student: “ I worked as a scribe in urgent care…I was so curious to learn more about them (EKGs). When I tried to teach myself…I found it very difficult to grasp the material…But today…I was so excited because I was finally able to understand even though it was just a basic of the basic. You made the concept simple and easy to digest, and I was so to a point where I had to write this email just for that. Again, thank you so much!”

What would you do with the $25,000?

I have a wife and two beautiful children, and so all of this would go to supporting them.
