I am presently in my 23rd year of teaching. I have taught business and computer courses, as well as various computer literacy classes. I focus on Personal Finance and Life Skills in my class to provide the students with real-world applications. I am currently teaching Business Fundamentals and Marketing. I have also taught computers at the elementary level. I love to teach hands-on activities that engage the students in their self-learning.

Teaching style
I believe the old Chinese Proverb “Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.” I think students learn best by doing; therefore, kinesthetic activities need to be implemented as much as possible. The more student independent activities that can be incorporated into the curriculum the better.
