My teaching philosophy centers on experiential learning and real-world application. Students learn best when they can connect theoretical concepts to practical challenges facing actual organizations.
Through partnerships with Richmond-area businesses and nonprofits, my students have completed over 30 consulting projects, working with organizations ranging from the Science Museum of Virginia to Dominion Energy. These projects give students hands-on experience while providing valuable insights to partner organizations.
I am also committed to making education accessible. Students in my Product Development and Management course receive the textbook I co-authored free of charge.
