"An education in Bioethics has proven to be of inestimable value. The curriculum challenges me to be cognizant of the multifaceted implications of health care by requiring knowledge and critical analysis across the disciplines of philosophy, theology, medicine and law. Due to this approach, learning never failed to be interesting, challenging, and dynamic.

My education in Bioethics has created various opportunities for myself and my family. I am currently serving as an Adjunct Professor for Mount St. Mary's College. I am teaching two undergraduate courses in Religious Studies (Biomedical Issues in Christian Ethics) as well as a Graduate course for the Department of Physical Therapy (Medical Ethics). Due to the exceptional education I received, I am now able to share in the mission of the Bioethics Institute as an educator and I hope to endow my own students with knowledge and passion for Bioethics"
