Adjunct Math Professor.

Taught Quantitative Methods, which provided students a working knowledge of

mathematical and software tools used to support decision making. The course

built on Finite Mathematics to develop practical applications of theoretical

concepts. Coverage included logic, finance, applied equations, optimization and

probability concepts. Taught a supplemental computer lab section, which utilized

software such as DS for Windows and Microsoft Excel to analyze

problems and develop solution models. Provided students with
