Faculty Spotlight
Amy Getman | Assistant Professor, Accounting

"I was fortunate to have some outstanding teachers when I was in high school, and I saw what a difference a person could make as a teacher. I also became a math tutor my freshman year of college, and I really enjoyed it. I enjoy working one-on-one with students on topics that interest them. I have been fortunate to work with many intelligent and motivated students."
