About

I've worked in both academia and the corporate world and am comfortable in either. I thoroughly enjoy working within limitations to achieve the maximum possible results. To do so, one must be efficient with time, resources and effort. I believe the best way to success in management is by setting an enthusiastic and hard-working example, and by inspiring staff to want to do the best they can. My main area of interest is in the design, application and ongoing development of efficient learning/training solutions.
