Experience
My Teaching is highly appraised by students. I have taught an introductory finance course designed for non-finance major undergraduate students and received evaluation scores of 4.8/5.0. I emphasize the culture of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in every class.
My Professional Experience is extraordinary. I worked for six years as a project financing manager for cross-border infrastructure development projects in less developed countries. This experience enhances my expertise in corporate finance and global markets, which can be applied to my research and teaching.
