I received an undergraduate degree (AB) in Economics from Princeton University in 1978 and a graduate degree (MS) in Industrial Administration from Carnegie Mellon University in 1981. I was a certified substitute teacher in Arizona and I have substituted at the high school level at the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. I have taught a variety of undergraduate business courses as an adjunct professor at several universities, including Memphis State University, Western Connecticut State University, Quinnipiac College, University of Bridgeport, Sacred Heart University, Albertus Magnus College, Southern Connecticut State University, Central Connecticut State University and New York Institute of Technology. The courses were in the fields of finance, statistics, management, computer science and mathematics. I was also the Math Specialist at Albertus Magnus College within the Academic Development Center. In this capacity, I provided one-on-one help to students and administered mathematics competency examinations to incoming freshmen. I have also taught spreadsheet, word processing and database fundamentals at non-degree technical schools such as Connecticut Business Institute and Branford Hall. I have always enjoyed helping students and tutored graduate courses while in graduate school. Math and its applications (e.g., finance, economics and statistics) comprise my favorite subjects. I believe that positive reinforcement and goal setting are critical to student success. Building upon strengths and proactively addressing weaknesses in a collaborative way help to build students' confidence and self-esteem.
