My Unique Approach to Education

“I try to challenge my students to think analytically as they approach any business or organizational situation. I encourage students to evaluate issues in a very pragmatic, real-world context as opposed to just accepting an academic, textbook answer. The best feedback I can receive from a student is that he/she was able to receive a promotion or change career paths because of a course he/she took with me.”
