How I Might Be Able to Assist

Having worked in the corporate sector for over 20 years I have first hand experience in the accounting field and can assist students on applying real world examples that tie directly into their learning. Current, Past and Future students please feel free to reach out to me via email or my direct number.

Professional Projects or Initiatives of Interest

Currently working on my dissertation, Career Experiences of Forensic Accountants and their Obtainment of Proficiency in Information Technology: Qualitative Exploratory Inquiry. The goal is to understand where those in the field of forensic accounting gained systems experience and where entry level and students in school now learn about systems. Corporate fraud is buried in technological data, and today’s accountants may not be prepared to detect fraud or prevent it.
