Teaching Philosophy:
My teaching philosophy is to provide students with the tools and knowledge needed to go forward into the workforce, or further into their education, and be successful. This comes through providing the “facts” of the curriculum, business laws, and applicable industry regulations, but also through providing “real life” examples which makes the text relatable. I want students to walk away with the education and confidence needed to operate as a business professional.
