Bachelor of Science Marketing, Metropolitan State University of Denver, Colorado – 1997
Teaching Philosophy
I want students to apply business concepts, not just learn them. I use my work experiences, and theirs, to illustrate the role classroom material plays in real-life situations. I encourage interactive and relevant discussions to stimulate critical thinking and decision making. Whether we are playing a game or taking a test, students think creatively and hopefully, maximize the strength of their ‘mind muscles.’
