Connected theory to the real world and enjoyed helping students learn, create and grow. Along the way I found that marketing is a good model for teaching — and teaching is a good model for marketing. I particularly enjoyed advising the leaders of the student run American Marketing Association. Student ratings were 4.9/5 in the last semester, with in-range final grades. Taught marketing to more than 1,000 students over four years.
