Business, Interdisciplinary
I'm passionate about empowering students to translate data into meaningful insights, designing authentic assessments that mirror real world analytics practice, and integrating ethical, explainable AI into curriculum. I am especially passionate about helping adult and online learners build confidence with technical tools and apply their skills to career growth.

My courses emphasize applied analytics, real datasets, portfolio development, and clear connections between theory and professional practice.
