Teaching Philosophy
After more than 30 years of industry experience and six years of being an honorarium faculty member at UCD, I have come to realize that coaching, mentoring, and teaching are much more than “what I do.” They are “who I am.” I try to be as accessible to my students as possible. I encourage students to approach me and discuss their education goals and career aspirations with me, as well as their involvement with the material in the courses I teach.
