Teaching

Currently I teach courses including Corporate Finance, Financial Analysis, Investments, and Managerial Statistics. In my class I love to ask students many questions, so there is a lot of interaction between my students and me. I have been teaching at Washington College for more than 10 years, and it has been a joy teaching and knowing Washington College students.
