Biography
Dr. Marion graduated from 蘑菇短视频's DPT program in 2015. During
his time in the program, Dr. Marion was fortunate to work as a graduate assistant
under the mentorship of Dr. Kathy Starr, the department's anatomist. Dr. Starr inspired
him to consider exploring anatomical sciences education in connection with his clinical
pursuits in rehabilitation. And that's exactly what happened. Dr. Marion practiced
in the outpatient setting for just over four years before entering academia teaching
anatomy and physiology and rehabilitation courses. He was then accepted into a PhD
program for Learning and Teaching in STEM with a concentration in Science Education
at North Carolina State University under the direction of Dr. Soonhye Park. Dr. Marion
directed his research toward anatomical sciences education in post-secondary settings.
After receiving his candidacy, Dr. Marion took a position at Louisiana State University
Health Sciences Center in New Orleans with the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy
teaching anatomy and histology. He has now come full circle stepping into the role
that inspired him over a decade earlier.<br><br>Prior to his pursuits in physical
therapy and anatomical sciences education, Dr. Marion earned his BFA in dance education
from East Carolina University. Some of his post-undergraduate experiences include
performance, choreography and directing, teaching high school, working in community
mental health, and serving as a residential English teacher in Spain. Outside of academia,
he enjoys teaching yoga, making pottery, and going hiking when time allows.
