Why I Love Teaching At Taylor:

The passion I have for teaching emerges from the desire to empower and equip students with experiences, knowledge and wisdom gained from over 25 years in the corporate world. Diverse examples of actual case studies brings teaching to life. It gives a factual, personal and powerful perspective to concepts and methodologies. I continually challenge students and supplement the learning experience with elements of critical thinking that give them a seamless empowerment for future life application, choices, decision making, analysis and a greater global interdependence.
