I have had many titles and held many roles in university, corporate, and nonprofit contexts; but the one thing that has remained static is that I have been a teacher in every role, first as a corporate trainer and eventually as a college professor. I attended Ohio University for my graduate and undergraduate degrees where I majored in organizational communication. I began teaching at the college level in 1999. I teach Public Speaking, Intercultural Communication, Organizational Communication, Principles of Advertising and PR, PR Writing, Strategies, and Campaigns to the traditional day students. I have taught at several universities including Denison, Ohio University and The Ohio State University. I grew up in Springfield Ohio. I moved to Florida in 2008 and I have loved every minute in the sunshine state. I live in Tampa FL with my three amazing teenagers.
