Why I love MIT

I love being able to give back and teach at the institute where I got my education. MIT provides amazing opportunities to our students, and it is a privilege to be part of a hard-working, supportive and knowledgeable team that wants to set our students up for success while creating safe, ethical practitioners for our communities.
