Professional Summary

I am best described as human resource development leader who applies organizational development practice and organizational communication theory to deliver results for organizations. I have for many years worked to transform organizations to improve performance and productivity. With over 25 years of experience in leadership, management, and human resource development roles, I have deep knowledge in these fields.

As a college faculty, I’ve learned the importance of student engagement with the course topic and content. To facilitate this engagement, I seek to inspire and challenge students to apply the concepts covered in my courses. My goal is to bring to students a “real world” practitioner’s perspective supported by leading-edge research. Students can expect to apply theory to practice and identify new ways to use best-practice concepts. In my classes, students dialogue, work in teams, present, and sometimes debate concepts with the goal of learning ways to enable optimum organizational performance.
