How would you describe your teaching style?
I have a strong background in manufacturing and mechanical engineering and over two decades of experience in plant engineering leadership. I bring real-world expertise into the classroom. I plan to include hands-on activities, labs when applicable, writing, and class discussions as a major part of my teaching. I envision preparing students to confidently tackle industrial challenges and communicate technical solutions effectively.
What do students need to know to be successful in your classroom?
I believe everybody has the potential to win, but winning requires planning and effort. If you are willing to grow, I will challenge you and support you to soar to new heights. Stay curious, work hard, and remember that every challenge is an opportunity to grow and prepare for a successful career.
