Introductory and Intermediate Finance
Foundational finance courses focused on core concepts, analytical problem-solving, and real-world application.
Teaching
Finance as a way of thinking.
I enjoy working with students as they learn to analyze problems, defend their reasoning, and apply finance to real decisions. My teaching is grounded in the same question that motivates my research: how people make decisions, and how better thinking leads to better outcomes.
