My Experiences
I currently serve as the Director of the M.A. in Strategic Communication at Michigan State University. I help steward the marketing, admissions, course design and support for the program as well as teach in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences. I also provide leadership to the college on Global partnerships as we seek to build alternative growth models for MSU. And, I team-teach a course on communication strategy and risk for the Executive MBA program in the Broad College of Business.
Previously I served as Vice President for Marketing & Sales for MediaFusion in a leadership and innovator role. Prior to MediaFusion, I served as Executive Director of Communications and Technology for the Free Methodist Church, USA. I led the team responsible for Global communication strategy and implementation.
I have spoken to many groups on the following topics:
- Finding Your Leadership
- Organizational Change
- Creating a Communication Strategy
- Who You Are Matters More Than What You Can do
I’ve worked with emerging technologies to develop pathways for faculty and staff in higher education to accomplish their teaching strategies and goals. This includes video production, Web site design, development, content management, and faculty consultations. I also built systems for faculty to deliver rich media to their students through the Blackboard Learning Management System, Desire to Learn, Kaltura MediaSpace and iTunes U.
Before working in higher education, I worked in the general marketplace to build an integrated marketing campaigns from writing, print, Flash development, video production, and Web design and development. Communication has always been something I love.
