I am interested in teaching strategic management, business and society, international business, and entrepreneurship. I have instructed diverse groups of students, including members of indigenous and global populations as well as non-traditional students and those with disabilities. My pedagogical philosophy is centered on fostering stimulating and purposeful learning. Helping students succeed through impactful teaching has been incredibly rewarding, which I aspire to continue pursuing.

Professor Phan was incredible! She was articulate, organized, practical, and clearly driven to teach us. Everything about the course was explained up-front and the professor made absolutely sure that we understood what to do and how to do it. I loved the format and concise way the professor taught.
My overall impression of the course was that it was a joy to come to class every session. The course is very well organized and there hardly ever was a question in regard to assignments/due dates that the syllabus could not answer. Professor Phan may be my favorite professor I have ever had. Every lecture was filled with passion and it truly showed the amount of effort she put into making every session enjoyable. Professor Phan is very compassionate and her care for her students' success is clearly present.
Professor Phan was one of the best professors I have taken within Shidler. It was very clear that she was extremely educated on the material being taught. At first, I was a bit scared that the course would be difficult, but Professor Phan created a great learning environment where learning is encouraged. Although some of the assignments were challenging, I believe that she pushed me to be a better critical thinker and student. I have retained the topics of the course and feel confident in application because of her.
Good lecturer. Always willing to listen to our suggestions and tailors the class to the students. Encourages students to participate and speak their opinions/thoughts. The instructor is very respectful and keeps the class entertained. I really loved the simulations as well. They're very fun and allowed us to implement strategies we learned from the course. Excellent teacher! Honestly the best business class I took so far!
The instructor was passionate about what she was teaching and she really wanted everyone to learn and succeed. I believe the professors attitude towards the course and the students made the course even better overall, she was excellent . This was one of the few college courses that I’ve taken that has forced me to really put in effort, and in a good way-because I knew the professor really cared.
The instructor was able to make the course fun and entertaining. I thought that the three hour course would be tiring but she was able to keep the class energized. She was able to make the concepts understandable and easier to remember.
One thing I very much enjoyed about this class was I felt comfortable being able to answer questions without feeling judged if it was wrong so thank you for that.

Professor Phan was a professor that clearly showed effort in trying to get material across to us as students. A lot of times, professors just sort of regurgitate information to their students but I felt that Professor Phan was authentically trying to teach in ways that met both the academic standard but also met the needs of us as students.
The instructor suited the course really well and was very accommodating to our assignments as well. Overall, I really liked this class and it was a great learning experience.
What I enjoyed was the feedbacks provided with every assignment, which really helped to understand how you can improve. I also liked how she addressed every student's opinions and answers with respect followed by their name.
I enjoyed learning about the different aspects of starting a successful business. Prof Phan knows the subject well and is able to communicate it to the students.
I thought this professor was well versed in the subject and was very helpful to students. I enjoyed the teaching style and didn't feel lost at any point. She gave constant reminders and graded really fast which I appreciate.
Overall, I thought this course was great, and thank you for the feedback on the work that I did. Also, thank you for all the extra credit opportunities as they helped with my grade.
I just wanted to say Thank you. I was lucky to take this class with this professor. Hope to take some other classes with this professor!
