I am an educator who teaches Bacteriology, Special Pathogens, Laboratory Math, Basic Lab Skills and Laboratory Management. My goal is to coach students to engage fully in their learning process within the space and context that I provide, and then to apply what they have learned thereafter. I know that applicational recall only occurs when students actively participate in the process. My role is to support students in the early stage of the CLS program as they navigate their transition from academic learner to professional laboratory practitioner. By building strong relationships based on trust and mutual respect from the beginning, I work to build each student\u2019s confidence in their ability to learn, foster their desire to accept responsibility for their own learning, and encourage willingness to be accountable for their actions. With these skills, I believe they will be well prepared to thrive in our program, successfully pass their board of certification examination, and provide high-quality, high-complexity laboratory services to improve outcomes for the citizens of North Carolina.<\/p>\n","ud_telephone":[{"ud_location":"Academic
