My name is Dr. Laurel Cobb. I received a bachelor's degree from the University of Florida and a PhD in Accounting from the University of Florida. I have presented papers in various regional and national conferences and been published in accounting research journals. Although I have been teaching for over 20 years, I am still excited about teaching.
I also have had experience in the "real world" as an auditor. I loved that experience. I happen to believe that the accounting profession is vital to the world's economic health. My other work experience includes time with my family's local newspaper for which I was Publisher/Editor. That meant I had to hire employees, pay company bills, make a profit, etc, etc. So, I think I have a little understanding of the use of accounting information both as a preparer and as a user of the financial statements. I actually think this stuff is fun - not easy - but, fun!
I don't work all the time, however; not by a long shot! Hiking, gardening, fishing and cooking provide me with many happy hours. Most importantly, I'm a wife, mother and grandmother - that's the best of all!
