Personal Statement

I coordinate the business administration major at Salve Regina, teaching undergraduate courses in management, including Organizational Behavior, Business Communications and Business Research. I also teach undergraduate and graduate human resources classes on campus and as an interactive graduate online version. In support of the University’s mission statement, I coordinate service learning options for students to perform community educational programs to underserved populations. I am the chapter adviser of Sigma Beta Delta, the business national honor society and also advise many current majors and new students in a New Student Seminar program. My past work has included management in both retail and nonprofit sectors and management consulting. I have presented papers at national and international scholarly conferences, and have been an invited speaker at international businesses and professional organizations. My works have been published as a book, a chapter in a book and in scholarly journals. I am also a professional reviewer for management journals and books. My most important work is with students developing and encouraging their business, community and life skills.
