Professor
Fashion Design and Retailing
Consumer Sciences Department

 

My primary goal is teaching undergraduate students. I find students inquisitive and anxious to learn. My personal philosophy of teaching is: students must know theory, practice the knowledge they discover, and apply what they learn to the real world.  Framingham is a suburb of Boston and we are fortunate to have apparel design and retail merchandising establishments a short distance from campus enabling students to combine their studies with practical experience.  

Both apparel design and merchandising students take the courses I teach.  Under “courses” you will see more detail about the theory, practice, and application that prepares students for future careers. 

Student projects vary from class to class.  Consumer markets are studied in a variety of perspectives.  Each course focuses on how apparel and retail companies must know their target market and the behavior of the customer. Teaching techniques vary including lecture, discussion, case study, student presentations, use of wireless laptop computers, a variety of computer software packages, and field trips.  I change my teaching method and content based on the needs of the student, class, career paths, society, and events in the world economy.

Student projects win statewide competitions in undergraduate research, work with companies to advance their studies, and prepare for the future fashion world.
