I am a Management Accounting professor specialized in teaching to non accounting students how to use accounting information to help make better decisions.

I have the privilege to teach students in UQAM's Fashion and Design school as well as international business students.

My research interests include the relevance of Management Accounting for the Fashion and Design industry. I am also interested in the Auditor- Client relationship and the role of the Audit Committee Chair. My preferred research method is a qualitative approach, using face to face interviews to gain a deep understanding of research subjects.

My research interests have recently expanded into the understanding of necessary Soft Skills for accounting graduates .
