About Me

I joined the Sigmund Weis School of Business (SWSB) at Susquehanna University in 2015, but I actually graduated from SWSB in 2005 with an accounting degree. My research includes auditor/client inquiries and pedagogical practices in accounting education. I also publish teaching cases that enable students to assess how technological innovations will influence the accounting profession.

At Susquehanna, I teach introductory business, financial accounting, and auditing courses. Additionally, I teach in study abroad and cross-cultural programs that take students to the United Kingdom. I also serve as an early advisor for incoming students to help them transition from high school to university-level studies.

I’m humbled to have been recognized by SWSB with awards for teaching/advising and research/service. I also received a university-wide advisor award and an award from the American Institute of CPAs for a teaching innovation.
