Biography
I held various positions in the Fashion Industry prior to teaching. These include: assistant buyer, department manager, production assistant and consultant for several manufacturing companies.
Since 1990, I have been teaching at Kingsborough in the Department of Business, mainly
in the Retail Merchandising Program. My current BA 11 course is being offered as a
hybrid section on Blackboard. I am also co-faculty adviser of the Delta Epsilon Chi
division of The Distributive Education Clubs of America, and am a certified Writing-Across-the-Curriculum
(WAC) instructor. In addition, I represent the Business Department in the intensive
ESL program. I work with business students in the honors option program.
