ABOUT ME

Before moving to Illinois to be a Professor of Accounting Data and Analytics at NIU, I worked at the University of New Mexico, where I developed the accounting data and analytics curriculum and taught accounting information systems.

I’ve provided data and analytics training for a variety of organizations, including the City of Santa Fe, Sandia National Labs, Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) Albuquerque Chapter, and Illinois Society of Association Executives.

During the summer of 2017 I worked with the Business Intelligence group at Sandia National Labs creating and researching Data Visualizations.

My MIS Ph.D. had a heavy data mining and analytics emphasis. Data and analytics has been a passion of mine since.
