I am passionate about marketing, lifelong learning, and developing strong networks!It is important to work in communities which support my personal brand. These key elements are my faith, marketing, and higher education of students for high levels of success in the professional workplace. I also strive to develop course content, student experiences, and research which support my scientist practitioner persona. It is important to have evidence-based practice combined with real world grit. This could be known also as the art and science of marketing. These two elements have been a part of my educational experiences, marketing positions, and consulting experience from all over the world.I also am proud that I have been able to wear a lot of hats in marketing. This exposure is instrumental in a dynamic environment that requires all marketers to have a knowledge of integrated concepts as digital and traditional marketing practices are synonymous. My professional life is full of twists and turns because as a member of a military family we have a lot of opportunities and challenges of changing locations and jobs. However, these opportunities have provided me with a toolkit of skills which differentiate me as an educator and marketer.Specialties: higher education, teaching, leadership, marketing, marketing strategy, digital marketing, social media marketing, strategic event planning, public speaking
