Associate Professor of Finance, School of Business

“My mission is to inspire and cultivate confidence in my students. I seek to do this by well demonstrating how the material I teach has purpose and by providing an environment that students feel at ease. When this is accomplished, it is then that the real learning can start.  I enjoy teaching very much and consider it a blessing to be able to do what I love.” – Dr. Bradbury
