Biography

The philosophy of professional education, to which I subscribe, is that students are our future and ought to be educated for practice in a diverse and ever-changing world. To this end, educational systems are obligated to provide an environment where students can develop competence necessary for practice; where acceptance, compassion, cooperation, curiosity, inclusion, integrity, self-reflection, and systems-thinking flourish; and where lifelong learning, service, and sustainability are fostered.
