When I teach,

I learn.

I enjoy working with students and collaborating on their growth and development.  

My teaching is at the intersection of media and technology, leadership communication, and sports and entertainment.

What I do in one class inevitably informs my work in another. I constantly evolve my approach.

I tend to teach highly experiential classes. I share research-based frameworks and examples and then ask students to apply their knowledge through exercises and projects. In my classes, we learn by doing and hopefully have some fun along the way. 

If you’re interested in my teaching, I offer the following courses at MIT Sloan School of Management’s MBA program and Executive Education program.
