With over 17 years of experience as a professor at Athens State University, I am passionate about delivering high-quality education in financial management to adult learners through distance learning. I hold a Doctor of Business Administration degree and have expertise in curriculum design, online pedagogy, and assessment methods.I have developed and taught courses that integrate theoretical and practical knowledge, and that enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I have also published research papers on various topics related to financial management, such as risk analysis, portfolio optimization, and corporate governance. Additionally, I have mentored students and faculty, and served on academic committees and boards. My mission is to inspire and empower my students to achieve their personal and professional goals, and to prepare them for the challenges and opportunities in the dynamic and complex financial sector. I value innovation, collaboration, and diversity, and I seek to bring these perspectives to my teaching and research.
