Teaching Interest: 

Management is an exciting field of study especially now due to globalization and diversity. There are so many companies we can study to integrate theory with learning. And, of course, ethics is interjected in all of the management courses to provide a solid foundation for our future managers.

 

Research Interest: 

I have a real interest in working with persons with disabilities and getting them into the workforce. I have over 15 years experience working with persons with disabilities and I know they add a great synergy to the workplace.

Teaching Philosophy: 

I believe it is my responsibility to educate my students in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Furthermore, I want to instill in my students the need to be a ‘lifelong’ learner and the importance of knowing what is happening in the world.
