Why I Teach

Although my classes are structured, I realize that each student is a unique individual and has specific needs. Since many of my students are working adults with many commitments, I am as flexible as possible and work individually with them to help them discover their talent and achieve success. However, as adults they have the final responsibility for their success.

My goal is to help students be able to apply ethical principles and critical thinking to their business decisions, solve real-world problems and communicate effectively orally and in writing.
