Faculty/Staff Directory

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my webpage. I am the Chair of the Accounting Department and a Professor of Accounting and Business at Foothill College. My teaching career began in 1982 after earning my Doctorate degree in Business Education from the University of Northern Colorado, with concentrations in Accounting and Management Information Systems. I have been teaching at Foothill College since 1998. Prior to joining Foothill, I served as a full-time professor at Evergreen Valley College, where I taught Accounting and Computer Information Systems courses. Throughout my career, I have remained deeply committed to student success, academic excellence, and the mission of the California community college system. Teaching has always been both my profession and my passion. I greatly enjoy working with students from diverse backgrounds and helping them achieve their educational, professional, and personal goals. Over the years, my dedication to instruction, mentorship, and student support has resulted in consistently high evaluations from students, colleagues, and administrators. As Department Chair, I have worked collaboratively with faculty to strengthen curriculum, expand student opportunities, and maintain high academic standards while ensuring accessibility and flexibility for our students.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, walking, decorating, flower arranging, and traveling. I am especially fascinated by the Renaissance architecture of Europe and enjoy learning about different cultures, histories, and customs. Exploring the beauty, traditions, and artistic achievements of various societies has enriched both my personal life and my teaching philosophy.
