What inspires me about my field: I love accounting because every day brings a new experience or challenge. I strive to fully integrate a student’s ability to learn and apply accounting concepts, thereby preparing my students for their future careers. To facilitate real-world experiences into classroom learning, I worked in public accounting and consulting prior to teaching at CLC.
