Abigail Somera

I am a faculty member at a University in the College of Radiologic Technology with almost 9 years of teaching experience, specializing in Radiologic Physics, Radiobiology, Radiation Protection, and Image Production and Evaluation. My work draws on a strong foundation in math, physics, chemistry, and anatomy, all essential for understanding medical imaging and patient safety.

I advocate a student-centered, outcomes-based teaching approach, tailoring my lessons to meet each student’s unique needs. I strive to make learning fun, engaging, and easy to understand, helping students see how concepts apply in real-life scenarios. With a laid-back and approachable style, I guide students to master the material confidently, encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and practical problem-solving.

Beyond teaching content, I focus on developing my students’ confidence and self-reliance. I encourage them to ask questions, explore different problem-solving strategies, and connect their learning to practical applications in healthcare and everyday life. My goal is not just to teach subjects, but to empower students to become independent, thoughtful learners who understand the value of what they’ve mastered.
