Former-
Professor and Associate Dean
​
I joined the Baldwin Wallace Community in February 2012 and achieved tenure status in 2019 with a promotion to full professor. I was the founding program director of the PA program until August 2022 when I became the Associate Dean of Health Sciences. I continue to have teaching responsibilities which include the following courses:
Evidence-Based Medicine, Leadership in Healthcare, Public Health and Policy Systems, and Master's Seminar. I have also have ongoing involvement with university strategic planning initiatives including the recent development of a new health sciences building.

Since leaving the university in August 2024, I have been continuing to explore how hospitals can increase their investment into the communities in which they serve and allow for more access to preventive care and ultimately keep patients out of the hospital.
