Accomplishments (personal or professional): My greates professional accomplishment has been taking the plunge into education.  Leaving the practice of Law, which was my comfort zone, to try a new career was terrifying.  The payoff, however, was enormous - I love teaching!  What a relief to actually enjoy my profession!

Favorite thing about teaching: Witnessing the miracles that happen on a daily basis here at HCC.

Memorable moment at HCC: Being informed that a student in my first semester Business Law class here at HCC will be getting her JD from Western New England this spring.

Teaching philosophy: A little encouragement can go a LONG way here at HCC.
