Dr. Kristi Green

Professor

I believe that all students should have a positive experience in the classroom. As in the real world, leaders and mentors should truly know and love those they work with while balancing the objectives of the company. I strive to offer a similar environment where students are challenged and engaged, but build their self-confidence so when they leave my class they are more successful in all aspects of their life.
