Bibliography
Why should the department hire me as a tenure-track professor?
- I have seven years of experience in teaching courses in finance, statistics, and economics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. This diverse and extensive teaching experience allows me to teach effectively in various areas. I am also a directing a nonprofit research firm where I am leading studies in economic growth and developing research grants. Flexibility in teaching and my practical experience in policy analysis add some distinctive layers to my curriculum vitae.
- For scholarship and academic purposes: I successfully served as an advislor in a Ph.D. dissertation committee. I directed and supervised two graduate theses, three graduate studies, and two undergraduate studies. One of the graduate theses that I supervised at Central Michigan University is now under peer review. One of the undergraduate studies that I supervised was accepted at a research conference at the 2022 VEAM conference in Hanoi. My current job market paper is a collaboration with one of my graduate students at Central Michigan University. I can help and supervise students who are interested in pursuing Ph.D. careers, including developing strong research topics.
- I have practical experience in finance and banking. Prior to attending graduate school, I worked in consumer banking for Bank of America. I received an award for perfect accuracy on operational banking practices on April 2011: just four months after I joined Bank of America. Then, I was promoted to a higher security level in banking operations, right before I made the decision to leave the bank for graduate school. Having a professor who has academic and professional experience in the same field enhances the department’s credentials. Given my practical experience, I can advise students who are interested in jobs in the financial sector.
