How would you describe your teaching style?

My teaching style is focused on helping students connect course concepts to the real world. By using current examples from real organizations, students can see how communication can have a positive or negative influence on an organization’s credibility.

What do students need to know to be successful in your classroom?

Being curious and willing to learn are keys to being successful in my class. I also value students who are willing to share their experiences in the workplace.
