My focus is on making sure class material is relevant to you: concepts you will need to use in future coursework, skills you will perform in the workplace, and ideas that will help you as a person in a world of commerce. You will need to put in the time and effort, but I will make sure you have the tools you need to succeed.

Dr. Kristi Green
Associate Professor
I believe that all students should have a positive experience in the classroom. As in the real world, leaders and mentors should truly know and love those they work with while balancing the objectives of the company. I strive to offer a similar environment where students are challenged and engaged, but build their self-confidence so when they leave my class they are more successful in all aspects of their life.
