I use a collaborative, active learning approach, whether teaching undergraduate or graduate students, or developing and delivering professional training to non-profit organizations and agencies. My courses draw on real-world case examples relevant to students and professionals, and encourage them to think beyond their day-to-day work to address broader structures and policies that affect health and drive health inequities.
