What is your teaching philosophy for Lasell courses?
"I chose teaching because I want to make a difference in other people's lives. I want to share my knowledge while at the same time guide students in using their minds to explore and challenge ideas. I want to teach students to learn not only that it is important to work hard but also work smart. I love to teach because you can make all the difference in shaping the future of a student. I love to teach because I always continue to grow. I learned much from being an accountant; I continue to learn from my colleagues; and I am always learning from my students. Who could ask for a better profession than teaching and who could ask for a better place than to be at Lasell College."
