Teaching Philosophy

It is my commitment as an educator to provide students with highly (1) practical, (2) relatable, and (3) organized information through lecture materials and class activities. Abbreviated as P.R.O., the three criteria also remind me that I am inspiring future business professionals about the value of Information Systems in their future careers. The teaching philosophy has demonstrated success in my high teaching evaluations over many semesters and across two different courses, given by both early and advanced undergraduate students. My dedication has been recognized by the Isenberg Outstanding Doctoral Student Teaching Award.
