About
Highly accomplished and passionate Adjunct Instructor and Business Professional with over 20 years of diverse experience across Financial Services, Technology, Higher Education, and Non-profit Research. I bridge the gap between complex economic principles and real-world applications, driven by a commitment to fostering student success and equipping learners with essential critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
My career journey includes leading data analytics teams and spearheading risk management and supply chain initiatives at leading organizations like Google and Wells Fargo. I excel in building new functions from the ground up, directing data strategy, and delivering actionable insights through advanced analytics and business intelligence. As an adjunct instructor at Queens University of Charlotte and Gaston College, I've successfully taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in Economics, Finance, and International Business across various modalities (in-person, synchronous virtual, asynchronous virtual, and hybrid). I am dedicated to creating engaging learning environments and developing relevant coursework that connects academic theory to current events and business scenarios. My expertise is further strengthened by active involvement on advisory boards for higher education institutions and continuous learning in areas like Data Science and AI/Machine Learning.
