Teaching Philosophy:
My goal is to perform well in the classroom. I continue to bring new and relevant examples into the classroom. I have seen my best classroom results from real business cases and situations, as opposed to simply examples from textbooks. Of course, I encourage students to become critical readers, thinkers, and writers. A college or university is only as good as its students, both past and present. To that end, it is my goal to provide the best possible environment for them to flourish.
