Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders.
As an adjunct professor at Purdue Global and Concordia University Chicago, I bring executive-level experience into the classroom — making leadership and project management tangible, practical, and immediately applicable.
How I Teach
Every concept I teach is grounded in real-world experience. Students leave with frameworks they can apply on Monday morning.
Learning requires vulnerability. I create environments where questions are celebrated and mistakes are learning opportunities.
Using tools like StrengthsFinder, I help students understand their natural talents and how to leverage them in team settings.
Great leadership is not innate — it is practiced. I teach it as a skill set that can be developed, refined, and grown.
