Associate Professor, Management

In my entrepreneurship classes, I encourage my students not only to learn about the entrepreneurship process but also to come up with novel ideas to start their businesses. As a certified business start-up mentor, I help students to get connected to entrepreneurship programs, accelerators, angel investors, and other resources to pursue their entrepreneurial goals.
