Academic Specialization/Focus at CTU
Academic and Student Affairs
I am in because education creates opportunity, and CTU provides relevant education that students can use in their lives immediately.
My teaching philosophy has always been to aspire to excellence and enjoy the process of learning. Also, if you are having challenges with any of the courses during your program of study, please reach out to your instructor. We are here to serve our students.
I love sports and athletics, and exercise all of the time, including walking outdoors. My family is very important to me and I stay very engaged in the lives of my two sons who are 20 and 17. I love movies and dancing.
