She greatly enjoys working in a collaborative environment with other faculty members and administrators, as well as teaching and working with students.
Dr. Clark earned a BS in physics from Oregon State University in 2000, and ND and MAc degrees from National University of Natural Medicine in 2011. She was in private practice from 2012 to 2020. She began her career in teaching in 2019 at Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon, where she served as chair of the integrative medicine department from 2019 to 2023. In this capacity, she worked with faculty in the biomedicine, research and professional development departments to introduce new curriculum as well as provide support, mediation and consultation in the areas of course design, policymaking and student/faculty and faculty/administration issues.
At UWS, she is eager to further cultivate her skillsets in pedagogy, course development and the integration of technology into both education and medicine. She is happy to be a part of this wonderful community.
