Being a teacher is a truly gratifying experience. My goal with students is twofold to teach them legal principles and to demonstrate how the law affects current public policy. By integrating real-life situations into lessons, the law becomes illuminating. I provide students with cases they can relate to, and I encourage open discussion in relaxed, yet structured classes. Its truly a pleasure to share knowledge that students will use and to act as their mentor.

Students meet with the client for background research, create a start-to-finish strategic proposal, make a formal presentation to the client, and, with the clients approval, spend the semester executing the plan, which may include producing materials such as brochures, media releases and special events.
