 Why I Created The Nuclear Professor: 

  After years of teaching, mentoring, and working closely with nuclear medicine students, I noticed a recurring problem: capable, motivated students struggling—not because they weren’t smart, but because the material was rushed, fragmented, or taught without context.At the same time, programs were under increasing pressure to improve outcomes while navigating evolving accreditation standards, expanding scopes of practice, and rapidly advancing technologies.I created The Nuclear Professor to bridge those gaps.This platform is built on the belief that:

• students deserve explanations that make sense 
• programs deserve support that is aligned and ethical 
• board readiness should come from understanding—not shortcuts

I help nuclear medicine technology students:

• build true conceptual understanding  
• prepare confidently for NMTCB and ARRT exams  
• strengthen weak areas through targeted review  
• reduce test anxiety by replacing memorization with mastery

I help nuclear medicine technology students:

• build true conceptual understanding  
• prepare confidently for NMTCB and ARRT exams  
• strengthen weak areas through targeted review  
• reduce test anxiety by replacing memorization with mastery  

Whether you’re early in your program, approaching boards, or needing focused remediation, my goal is to help you feel prepared—not overwhelmed.

I partner with programs to:

• support student board readiness  
• strengthen remediation strategies  
• align curriculum with accreditation and exam expectations  
• supplement instruction without replacing faculty expertise  

My role is collaborative, not corrective. I work alongside educators to enhance—not disrupt—existing programs. 

I bring both educational leadership and real-world perspective to everything I teach.

• 16 years' experience as a Program Director in Nuclear Medicine Technology
   
• National professional leadership and committee service
   
• Curriculum development aligned with accreditation and certification standards
   
• Extensive experience

This dual perspective—educator and leader—allows me to understand both student needs and institutional realities.

There are plenty of resources that promise quick results. The Nuclear Professor is different by design.

• No memorization-only teaching  
• No guarantees or shortcuts  
• No misrepresentation of credentialing organizations  

Instead, you’ll find:

• clear explanations  
• structured, ethical preparation  
• resources grounded in how nuclear medicine actually works
