Associate Professor - Adjunct

• Apr 1996 - Dec 2012

I instructed many currently practicing professionals in the field of Interior Design. Through a hands-on approach of learning and a complete understanding of students’ abilities, several former students now teach Interior Design. My experience teaching more than sixteen years allowed me to gain valuable insight into students learning abilities, as I introduced the best possible strategic assessments and strategies in my classrooms. I trained in "best practices" and applied what I learned to engage and encourage student learning. Show less
