I graduated with a Ph.D. in Accounting from Michigan State University.

What is your area(s) of expertise and which subject(s) are you most passionate about?

My area of expertise is managerial accounting. I am very passionate about math.

What is your favorite quote and why?

A line from a poem by Robert Frost. “I have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep. And miles to go before I sleep.” It gives me goosebumps every time.

What is your favorite podcast or book and why?

My Favorite book is “Not Without My Daughter” because it was a daunting true story narrated by the woman who actually went through the experience herself. I also love “The Kite Runner,” it’s just a cute emotional book about friendship.
