Teaching Philosophy
I introduce
students to financial services using a very
traditional academic approach – text books,
lecture and testing. I combine this with
presentations by financial service industry
professionals and use my 25 years industry
experience – to integrate the two approaches to
create learning. My goal is to prepare students
to become leaders in financial services
organizations and help them develop fulfilling
and rewarding long term careers.
