My style is very non-traditional, personal, and purposeful. I’m committed to bringing the real world into the classroom through practical insights and exercises with an emphasis on experiential learning and leadership and strategic influence elements in every class. I keep students on their toes so they’re constantly engaged, surprised, and genuinely enjoying learning. That, and chocolate. I’m married to a chocolate maker, so always have some with me. It’s a powerful engagement tool. Why is it important for business students to receive a global education? I’ve worked in 80+ countries and it’s completely shaped the person and professional I am today. A global education and building social capital are imperative to be competitive and relevant in the marketplace. People come together at Hult and are engaged, informed, and empowered to change the world. “I love the entrepreneurial spirit on campus and being surrounded by bold, curious, and engaged global citizens who are impassioned to change the world.” Qualifications: MA, Public Administration & Public Affairs, University of Texas at Dallas
