‌Teaching | Thank You!

"... I want to thank you for a great semester. Though I am a ... major, I know that the knowledge regarding global strategy, strategic alliances, cultural differences in business, and more will be absolutely essential for me in my future career. You made this class incredibly informative and enjoyable."
S. S., Spring 2024
"... thank you for teaching the IBUS course the way you did, it really improved my knowledge and understanding about the contents of the course and the exam that you conducted was also very well structured and actually tested my application of all the concepts taught in class.
I really enjoyed studying this course."
D. M., Spring 2024

S. L., Fall 2022
"... thanks to you for an awesome semester ... I wasn’t sure what to expect, but because of professors like you, I’m off to a great start on the business track at AU. ... You are so invested in all of us, and that means a lot. ... I’m not sure what path I want to take in Kogod yet, but you’ve given me a lot to think about. ... and I can’t thank you enough for an excellent introduction."
L. O., Spring 2022
"... thank you for being a great professor and for a great class. Having international business at first was scary as a female because I feel as if in a lot of countries it’s rare to see females with the major due to culture standards. But I wanted to say thank you, because after taking your class I definitely feel more confident with my choice and want to continue learning about it..."
