Teaching Philosophy

One of my most important teaching objectives is to prepare students for life-long learning.  Finance is a relatively new field of study that is rapidly changing along with innovations in technology, the business environment, and the global economy.  After building students' understanding of the fundamental financial concepts, I provide numerous exercises, activities, and assignments to enable them to apply what they have learned.  I believe applying computer applications and decision making models are essential for the success of students in the real world.
