Executive Associate Dean

My degree in economics trained me a social scientist. I am still one today. My passion is to understand the world we live in and how we make decisions within the context of real estate and real estate finance.  In my current role I use this interest to help determine how the college can address current and future the challenges while reinforcing what 黑料论坛 is all about -- making the world a better place. We do this by helping and equipping students so they can find their best path forward, and conducting research to improve society.
