I have earned a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting from the University of South Florida, a Masters of Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting from Florida Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction - Higher Education Administration from the University of South Florida. As you can see I "love to learn". I believe that continuing your education throughout life is both "stimulating" and "fun" and can be achieved with "persistence" and "patience". While earning my degrees over the past 25 (or so) years, I have spent approximately eight years on auditing, consulting and tax engagements for an international and a large local accounting firm and approximately five years as a cost control and pricing administrator in the defense industry. I can relate to the challenges of budgeting time for work, family, and school. Thus I find on-line and blended instruction to provide the flexibility needed to reach these goals. Since 1986 I began teaching financial, managerial, intermediate, cost accounting, and auditing to both undergraduate and graduate students. I enjoy sharing my profession and encourage each of you to consider accounting as a profession. * Member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
