Effective teaching of statistical material is not just an ideal to strive for, but is an attainable goal.  My main goal is for students of my courses to become knowledgeable users and consumers of the statistical methods taught in the course.  I understand that the ability to provide an intricate mathematical proof is not a prerequisite for many applications of statistics.  Being knowledgeable, however, revolves around the fundamental properties of each method: the situational appropriateness and motivation, the inferences that can be made, methods of obtaining statistical estimates, and knowledge of the underlying assumptions.   I strive for excellence in the teaching of my courses, and expect the same from my students.

My research program, teaching experiences, and doctoral training have afforded me the ability and desire to teach a wide assortment of quantitative methods courses to a diverse audience of students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
