About
Sanford: |
|
In my long career as a teacher, I have taught high school mathematics, undergraduate and graduate level computer science, and graduate level statistics. I currently hold a faculty appointment of Assistant Professor in the Health Systems Management program at Rush University, one of the top 25 health management programs in the United States. My students have voted me the outstanding faculty member in the department in 2003 and 2007. Also at Rush Medical Center, I developed curriculum and taught mathematics in the Science and Math Excellence program, which provides opportunities for inner city high school students with an interest in healthcare careers. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Northwestern University with a minor in Mathematics, and a Masters degree in Computer Science from Illinois Institute of Technology. I have a lot of patience and a good sense of humor and am able to work with students of all ability levels. |
