I am an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Operations, Business Analytics and Information Systems in the Lindner College of Business at the University of Cincinnati. Prior to joining UC in 2007, I spent over 25 years at the Mead Corporation in analytical and managerial positions in logistics, purchasing and supply chain management.

At UC, I primarily teach our two business analytics courses that all our undergraduate business majors take. I have taught these classes on-campus and online. My on-campus classes usually have over 200 students in each section. When I began teaching these large lectures, I had multiple teaching assistants to grade homework, but even when this process went well, constructive feedback to students was limited and took several days. To address these issues, I started using the Aplia platform in 2010. Aplia reduced paperwork, provided quicker turnaround and improved feedback for students. In 2016, I migrated to MindTap to have a platform that kept these benefits and is designed around the text that I was using. In 2019, when the text moved to WebAssign, I followed. In WebAssign I have all my assessments that include daily quizzes, weekly homework assignments, practice assignments, midterm exams and a final exam. Students can easily access these materials and other helpful videos through our LMS, Canvas.
