With 35 years of experience in public relations for not-for-profit and governmental agencies, I returned to my alma mater to teach Integrated Marketing Communications. Currently, I teach (or have taught): Introduction to IMC, Writing for IMC, Advanced Writing for IMC, Introduction to Public Relations, Event Planning*, Crisis Communications*, Public Relations Techniques, Public Relations Cases, and Internal Communications.*Denotes classes I developedCrisis Communications is a passion for me because I worked closely with leaders in my last position to navigate a funding crisis. The seated Governor wanted to close our facility in an effort to save state funding. It took a full state calendar year to know we would continue to be funded. It was during this time that Olivia Pope (thank you, Shondra Rimes) became a role model.I so enjoy teaching young adults and guiding them through decisions that affect their calling and their future.
