Greetings!
It is my pleasure to work with the extremely diverse and dedicated individuals who step up to the challenge of the Master in Management (MiM) program. I have been involved in the MiM program since 1999, both as a participant and as an administrative staffer. It has been a great learning experience and an outstanding opportunity to get to know some truly remarkable leaders in our region.
My career path has come full circle: I started out as a high school teacher many years ago, left teaching for some time, and am now very happy to be teaching again. After graduating from OSU, I taught high school French in Corvallis and helped coach the swim team. I later moved to Sacramento for a job with Western Fairs Association where I learned about event management and meeting planning. In 1986, I moved to Northeast Ohio to work for the VP of Marketing and Sales of the Cleveland Cavaliers. A few years later, I married into a vineyard and winery operation located outside of Akron. We produced about 15,000 gallons of wine a year and sold most of it at the winery, teaching me a lot about marketing and the hospitality industry. I returned to the Rogue Valley in 1998 and completed a master in management degree at SOU in 2002.
Having a background in the public sector, in nonprofit work, and in private industry has been great preparation for working in a masters program that encompasses all of these arenas. Besides serving as the advisor to MiM participants, I teach Project Management, Special Methods in Business Education, and Business Communication, as well as Orientation to Graduate Study.
