你为什么成为一名教授?
I became a professor partially because I felt that I had experienced significant,
unique business opportunities as a corporate executive. 如果有机会
become a university professor I could share with graduate students my experiences
and knowledge that would help them in their individual business careers.
Additionally, I was incredibly impressed with my Masters’ professors and I realized at the right time in my career I wanted to be that professor that students looked up to, trusted and felt contributed to their career success.
你最喜欢教学的什么?
我喜欢教学的各个方面. I like working with students and student teams on
actual business problems and opportunities, seeing them effectively create strategies
and recommendations and then effectively present their work.
你希望学生从你的课程中学到什么?
I trust and believe students realize the courses I have created and teach and the
discussions we have are based on real business situations, issues and/or opportunities.
It is especially rewarding when students tell me “the class was hard work, they learned
a great deal and feel what they learned they can use now and well into the future.”
在进入学术界之前你是做什么的?
Prior to academia I was a corporate executive at a large data communications company.
Over the many years I gained experience in many departments and learned the industry
from an operations, sales engineering and customer service perspective. 我学会了
the business, the technology and maybe more important how to effectively listen, lead
large teams and respect and value the contributions of team members.
What are you passionate about outside of the University?
我有一个美好的家庭生活. My husband “Hank” and I have been married 35+ years
and we are each other’s best friends whether we are boating, traveling, or doing chores.
We have a wonderful daughter, son-in-law and new baby grandson that we look forward
