McCombs School of Business, University of Texas at Austin
Teaching/Research Assistant. August 2001 to December 2002.

McCombs School of Business is amongst the top business schools in the United States with the MBA program ranked 7th Worldwide (Source: The Wall Street Journal, 9/02) and the BBA program ranked 7th in US (Source: US News, 9/02).

Assisted in teaching Foundations of Marketing (MKT320F) and Direct Marketing ( MKT372) courses while simultaneously pursuing my Masters in Advertising. Advised and managed two classes of 500 students, taught occasionally, graded case studies and prepared and conducted examinations.

Interacting with students everyday and teaching was professionally challenging. What I really loved was simplifying complex concepts and using case studies to encourage concept application. I approach teaching as an art - the art of persuasive communication. The key was to be prepared. Prepared with a battery of notes, anecdotes and examples to make the experience worthwhile and that was my mantra.
