I hold a BS and MS in Engineering from Clemson University, an MA in Counseling and Human Development from Liberty University, and a DBA in Global Organizational Leadership from Keiser University. I am currently a faculty member and Assistant Professor of Business at Spartanburg Methodist College, where I teach Management Science and Business Analytics, Business Statistics, and Operations Management. I have also taught Entrepreneurship, Professional Sales, and Introduction to Business. My academic training and applied background allow me to tutor statistics, business analytics, operations management, and Excel with clarity and depth.

I have over ten years of teaching and tutoring experience in one-on-one, small group, classroom, and online settings, working with undergraduate, graduate, and professional learners. Part of my graduate and professional teaching experience took place in China, where I helped launch a university program focused on expanding educational access. My tutoring approach is conceptual and applied, emphasizing problem-solving, learning retention, and confidence building. I focus on giving students practical tools they can use immediately and continue applying in future coursework.

Before entering academia, I spent 30 years in industry and business, advancing from entry-level engineer to Engineering Manager. This real-world experience directly informs my tutoring. I regularly help students prepare for exams, projects, and case analyses, including MBA-level coursework, and I am highly proficient in Excel, including Solver and the Data Analysis Toolpak for regression, statistics, and experimental design. I frequently work with first-generation and academically challenged students, helping them build skills and confidence while preparing them to succeed in an evolving, technology-driven business environment.
