Known for calm, confidential support and quick navigation to the right resources, he also integrates animal-assisted moments with his golden retriever, Bodhi, drawing on his dog-training experience to create gentle, structured interactions that can lower stress, lift mood, and make starting a conversation easier especially during busy clinical and exam periods.
