I have a real interest in working with persons with disabilities and getting them
into the workforce. I have over 15 years experience working with persons with disabilities
and I know they add a great synergy to the workplace.
Teaching Interests
Management is an exciting field of study especially now due to globalization and diversity.
There are so many companies we can study to integrate theory with learning. And, of
course, ethics is interjected in all of the management courses to provide a solid
foundation for our future managers.
