Photo description: Active learning is a defining feature of my teaching, and all of my courses include an applied project. For four years, for example, I designed and co-led an Operations and Accounting Integration session at the Mid-Ohio Food Collective. During this session, students gained hands-on experience applying course concepts to the operations of a nonprofit organization. These photos are from a recent visit, which included a Kaizen Blitz activity focused on improving the food bank’s reclamation processes. A summary of the project work appears to the right of this text.

Photo description: During my tenure at OSU, I have taught the Intro to Sustainable Ops elective across the undergraduate, MBA, and PhD programs. A highlight each year is the guest presentation from Rumpke Waste and Recycling—now in its third year. I also partner with Rumpke on research and recently received a $25,000 grant from the organization to advance work on AI-enabled curbside recycling.
