Donald joined Bellevue College in the fall quarter of 2016. Primarily, he teaches courses for students pursuing the BAS in Applied Accounting. He is a graduate of the University of Washington (Foster School of Business), having earned a Master’s in Professional Accounting (Taxation). He holds the Quality Matters “Independent Applying the QM Rubric” and “Peer Reviewer Course (PRC) 2008-2013” Certificates. He is also a Certified Public Accountant.
Donald’s classes are rigorous and emphasize the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills in applied accounting. Students should expect a lecture for each chapter covered in class. Students benefit from a variety of learning experiences designed for their engagement. For example, individual and group research projects and/or case studies. Students will complete their research and present their findings to their classmates. Since Donald’s areas of industry expertise include (but are not limited to) professional services, construction, hi-tech, and life science, he infuses real-world applications into classroom discussions.
He is happy to hear from his former students when they report they are awarded jobs in the industry, or get admitted to a University to pursue advanced education.
