Experience

My academic appointments at GCSU and GWU have proven myself as a passionate and caring instructor. Students have described my teaching as “thorough in explaining concepts and went above and beyond to make sure we would succeed in this course” and “very caring professor who wants to see his students succeed”. My Teaching is highly appraised by students evidenced by an average evaluation score of 4.1/5.0.

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.
