Senior Lecturer in Economics and Course Leader of Economics and Finance

With nearly 25 years of experience in higher education, I specialize in planning, leading, and delivering quality instruction across undergraduate courses in economics, statistics, and quantitative business analysis. I am committed to fostering a learning environment that motivates students to achieve their full potential, and I consistently work to engage and support diverse student populations at all academic levels. Known for maintaining strong professional relationships with students, faculty, and administrators, I bring a dedicated approach to teaching and course development. My focus remains on advancing both my professional and academic expertise to make impactful contributions to the field of economics education.
