Throughout my lifelong journey in both business and education, I have discovered a deep and enduring passion for supporting learners - a passion that stems from my own experience mastering complex subjects and thriving in dynamic professional roles. I hold a Bachelors in Finance with a concentration in Accounting from the University of Illinois at Chapaign- Urbana, complemented by an MBA in Entrepreneurship from DePaul University, and am a CPA. Over the past 30 years, I have held significant leadership positions across organizations of varying sizes - both public and private, serving in positions such as CFO, COO and General Manager. I have been teaching Accounting for Decision Making and Entrepreneurial Finance to graduate level students for nearly 3 years and look forward to tutoring in areas of algebra, financial accounting and managerial accounting.

Outside of my professional activities, I am a certified yoga instructor and enjoy teaching yoga, reading and spending as much time outdoors as possible!
