Cas (They/Them)

What inspires you? 

I am inspired by artists who make work to connect us in hard times.

Why did you choose to be a Virtual Patient for the (A.I.M) Simulation Project©?

I have developed skills while working and training as an actor, and I love being able to put them to use in practical ways by preparing future medical practitioners. 

What do you hope the client gains from their experience with you?

I want to provide an opportunity for clients to practice engaging respectfully with a queer patient -- particularly practice using gender-neutral language to describe bodies and not assuming heteronormative lifestyle preferences. I also hope that I can give clients an opportunity to practice engaging with heightened emotions that feel real.
