Dermatopathology; animal models of skin disease; wildlife diseases

Teaching Interests

My primary role is teaching residents and veterinary students. I enjoy interacting with the pathology and dermatology residents and third and fourth year veterinary students through the surgical biopsy service, necropsy service, and dermatology clinic. I also teach some didactic course work to first year veterinary students.
