   Scope:As a proud Berkeley College alumnus, I was appointed to the MBA faculty to teach in the MBA program, where I have since taught Managing in Government and Non-Profit Sectors, Leadership and Corporate Governance, Essentials of Management, and Marketing Strategy in a Global Environment. Across these courses, I provide graduate students the opportunity to explore the unique structures, governance models, strategic decision-making frameworks, and leadership challenges within both nonprofit and government institutions, as well as within broader corporate and global business environments. Drawing on my professional leadership experience, I design a curriculum that emphasizes practical application, evidence-based management, and deeper academic learning, equipping students with the competencies needed to lead effectively in complex, multidimensional organizational settings.
