  • When did you start teaching?

    Spring 2007

  • What advice would you give to those considering this online program?

    Understand the expectations and develop a time management strategy.

  • Tell us something interesting about yourself that your students might not know about you.

    I almost completed the CPA exam in China before I decided to go to my Ph.D. program. That experience seems to be unrelated to my current profession, but is actually very helpful because I teach Strategic Management and need to have a basic understanding about financial numbers. The takeaway is that everything you learn will be useful at some point.
