I specialize in Corporate Finance, Cash Flow statements and the IFRS and GAAP principles used to put together the various external reporting financial statements. More importantly, I show students how to apply financial concepts for use in their everyday lives in order to make them more comfortable with finance, more marketable, and more attractive to future employers.

What would you say to someone who knows they may have a few days to a few months to live? I spent volunteer time listening to those who had reached their end of life. I didn't engage in a pity party - they didn't want that either. I was as communicative as people wanted me to be and as available as the friends of those people needed me to be. It was a wonderful, reflective experience as I came to know people with great legacies and strong work ethics at the end of their lives.
