Senior Instructor I

I help people learn skills that help them start and grow businesses. My goal is to assist students and entrepreneurs to be more successful in their endeavors. I do this through teaching classes in business foundations and entrepreneurship. I also facilitate business workshops and meet with businesses one on one. I lean on my extensive business experience, technology background, and coaching skills to help my connections learn to be effective students, entrepreneurs and business owners. I currently am supporting the College of Business as the AI Coordinator as we navigate through this new frontier.
