I have lived most of my life in Seattle, Washington, where I first discovered my love of teaching as a rowing coach and where I have continued to nurture that passion as a clinical educator. When I’m not teaching Endocrinology at the medical school, I’m home teaching my four-year-old twin boys to be good people (and they are teaching me how to make Star Wars ships out of Lego).
