I hold a master’s degree in Economics from Central Michigan University, which has provided me with a strong academic foundation in economic theory, analysis, and application. Throughout my career, I have continued to build on this foundation, with a particular focus on assessment—developing and refining methods to effectively measure student understanding and improve learning outcomes.
I have over 17 years of experience teaching economics at the community college level, where I have worked with a diverse range of students. My teaching approach centers on adaptability and clarity, with the goal of explaining concepts in ways that resonate with each individual learner. I emphasize the use of scaffolding in my instruction, breaking complex economic ideas into manageable steps that build upon one another. This structured approach helps students develop confidence while ensuring they fully grasp key concepts before moving forward.
My teaching experience spans a wide range of ages and backgrounds, working with students from 16 to 70 years old in both classroom and individualized settings. This diversity has strengthened my ability to connect with learners at different stages of their academic and professional journeys. Whether in a traditional classroom or one-on-one support environment, I strive to create an inclusive and supportive learning atmosphere where students feel empowered to ask questions, engage with the material, and achieve their academic goals.
