Fast Facts
My classes are engaging and interactive, emphasizing skills and competencies needed to prepare students for leadership and management positions in various organizations. I expect students to make class contributions to demonstrate their out-of-class preparation and absorption of course material. My teaching approach uses a combination of lecture, case study, student-led presentations,, role-plays, demonstrations, and group discussions. Outside speakers may be called upon, on occasion, to share knowledge on specialized topics.
I pursued a career in Christian higher education because of my strong desire to teach at a Christian university and integrate my faith in Jesus Christ into instruction, as well asoutside the classroom. My instructional practices are grounded in the belief that students in higher education are forming and solidifying their worldviews, which will guide their decisions for years to come. I desire students to establish a rock-solid foundation in Christ as they prepare to enter the workplace filled with conflicting values.
