About Me
Welcome to Human Anatomy and Physiology! This course is fun, exciting, rigorous, rewarding and amazing! It is an upper level lab science course that prepares the student for a successful start to a college major in biology, pre-medical, pre-veterinary, nursing, sports medicine, physical therapy and many more. We spend about 30% of our time doing hands on lab-work from using microscopes in histology up to full organ dissection with the highlight, a whole body dissection of the cat. We take a trip to a medical school to work on human cadavers. I am often told this class is more valuable then words can describe once the student is taking anatomy and physiology in college.
I became passionate about science as a child collecting more animals then should be allowed. Once I was 18 I started my career in vet medicine as a vet assistant at a local pet hospital, which motivated me to become a veterinarian. Through the years I became a State of California Registered Veterinary Technician (a nurse in the animal world) and worked for 20 years at various clinics, emergency hospitals, and surgical practices. I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a bachelors of science in biology, pre-med. Unfortunately my path to vet school was derailed by a car accident that left me unable to perform the fine motor tasks needed for surgery. So I decided that teaching the upcoming doctors, nurses, and such would be a great choice.
I am often very grateful for that unexpected career path switch because I now have the privilege to teach my passion to students who share that passion. I absolutely enjoy my students and am proud of all the wonderful things they do with this education.
