Professional Development

In addition to eight years of management experience at a nation-wide corporation, I have been an academic for the past nine years. I have taught at five different institutions (two research universities, a medium-size private college, and two community colleges). In less than a decade, I have taught over twenty-eight different courses and 80 different sections.
