Welcome
I
started my accounting career in 1987 after graduating with a B.S. in Accounting
from Canisius College. I worked for BDO Seidman for three years as both
a Staff Accountant and Senior Accountant and during that time became a Certified
Public Accountant. I have always had an interest in teaching and in 1990
I had the opportunity to become a Teaching Assistant while attending the
MBA Program at Ohio University. I graduated with my MBA in 1991 and in 1992
accepted my first full-time college teaching job at Miami University in
Oxford, Ohio as an Accounting Instructor and spent the maximum amount of
time (three years) teaching a variety of accounting courses.
I entered the world of government accounting and finance in 1996 and took a job as Treasurer for the Village of Depew, New York. I really missed teaching and was hired by Elmira College in 1999.
The decision to come to Elmira College was one of the best career decisions I have made. Entering my eleventh year at Elmira College, I really enjoy teaching upper-level courses in accounting, such as Principles of Government and Non-Profit Accounting, as well as introductory courses such as Personal Finance. I also enjoy advising students and for seven years I have been the advisor for the Elmira College Chapter of the Sigma Beta Delta National Business Honor Society.
