I am an Associate Professor in the Business Administration and Management department. I grew up in a military family in North Carolina until about junior high school, when my family moved to New Hampshire. I attended local schools and am proud to call Manchester West High School my alma mater. I graduated from Plymouth State University with a BS in Marketing and entered the sales world. I was involved in outside sales for about 3 years before entering into the retail banking industry, where I worked in branches and then in corporate training and development for about 10 years. Over that time, I graduated with a Master in Business Education and began teaching part-time at several local colleges including courses in:marketing,sales,andpublicspeaking.I enjoyed working with students at the college level, so I pursued my doctorate andcompleteditin2015. In addition to my role as a professor, I am alsoawife,mother,sister,aunt,colleague, and friend. My husband and I have 2 daughters, Carly and Grace, who are now
Business Administration is pretty broad, under the “umbrella” of Business Administration, I like organizational behavior because it is interdisciplinary and involves fields like psychology and sociology.Mydoctoralprogramwasinthe area of leadership, and was really different because it involved studying business & leadership through the lens of the humanities. Part of my doctoral research involved inquiry; I have continued to enjoy research in that area and co-developed a class called The Power of Questioning. I like learning new ideas around teaching and learning involving neuroscience. In the past 5 years, I have been more involved with teaching entrepreneurship which involves parts of design thinking, creativityandinnovation.
I would suggest that every student read the book Mindset. I also would advise them to meet with individual professors, get to know other staff on campus and be open to learning from everyone I would also advise students to let people know your interests/passions in case opportunities arise. Speak early and often to professors about any issues you might be dealing with. Take advantage of all of thethingstodooncampus,trysomething new and step outside of your comfort zone It is great to have friends from home, but try to put yourself “out there” to meet other students on campus, and you can have another circle of friends give it time to find “ your people” they areheresomewhere!
I love all different genres of music and enjoy understanding lyrics. I also love karaoke!Professors Dr. Christine Blais, Dr. Megan Shay, Dr. Sophia Koustas, Dr. Sue Losapio (lefttoright).
