Personal Statement
I have a special passion for clinical and applied microbiology, and I enjoy teaching lecture and laboratory courses in the subject area to students using up-to-date lecture materials and state-of-the art laboratory techniques.

I also greatly enjoy discussion topics centered on One Health concepts and educating the public about the importance of veterinary medicine.
