Philosophy of Education:
My education philosophy blends both constructionist and behaviorist principles. I am guided by the belief
that students learn best through active engagement and experiences relevant to their lives, while also
benefiting from clear expectations and reinforcement to develop essential skills. I am committed to
ensuring learners grasp the importance of both "soft skills" and technical expertise for optimal patient
outcomes.
