Faculty Perspective

The most rewarding feeling to me is when I am describing something to someone and I see the concept ‘click.’ There’s no better feeling in the world than when that light bulb turns on, and you know someone has learned something new.

I enjoy engaging with NMT students and helping them understand that while technological skills are important, the aspects of working with people should not be overlooked.
