Teaching Interests

At Saint Francis University in fall 2010, it was Edward Timmons’ Econ 101 class that first sparked my interest in economics and eventually caused me to declare an economics major. Poetically, my teaching experience at Saint Francis primarily focused on introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics. I tried to bring some life to my courses, which were usually at 8am, using (mildly) funny examples to work through with students. Since so few were economics majors, my goal was to give them some tools from economics that they could apply later, in the business world. I was also able to teach my favorite economics course from undergrad, money and banking.

At West Virginia University, I teach courses in the online graduate programs, like the MBA, MHRL, MA Econ, and DBA programs. My courses include labor economics, which is tied closely to my research. I also teach a statistics course, which gives me the opportunity to teach one of my favorite subjects from high school.
