Interests

I am the premedical advisor and advisor for the health careers club, the Ars Medica Society. I help students plan for entering most of the health careers. I am also very interested in science education and I work with school teachers on various enrichment activities, including science fairs. I do science activities as a member of the South Carolina Academy of Science, and am on the Board of Directors for the Junior Academy as well. Because of my interest in environmental concerns, I am an active member of the Sierra Club.
