MS Management, Walsh College
MS Marketing, Walsh College

Biography

My undergraduate degree is in communications with a minor in journalism from Oakland University.  I have two graduate degrees from Walsh – a Master of Science in Management and a Master of Science in Marketing.

Writing and public speaking have been a passion of mine since I was in junior high school.  I currently work for the Detroit Zoological Society as the manager of annual giving and stewardship.  Essentially it is my job to write compelling appeals to members and friends of the Zoo as to why they should make a charitable contribution to the Zoo.  I also manage a donor society of 300 families.  I work one on one with them and encourage them to continue giving (and in many cases increase their giving).  Much of this part of my job is done through verbal communication.

I have also been a communications tutor at Walsh for ten years!  I enjoy tutoring students and getting to know them and their future plans.
