About

I am the Assistant Dean of the Division of Business as well as a professor for marketing at a small, private college (2,000 students) in Burlington, VT. I use my industry experience to bring the working world to both my classrooms and curriculum. I have experience in marketing, public relations, media relations, event management, internet strategy as well as an in-depth knowledge of interactive and social media techniques, strategies and tools.

My professional experience, primarily in the non-profit and advocacy sector, has given me an appreciation for the importance of teaching students how to engage with the communities they are in, and how to apply successful business techniques to support causes and engage various publics. I am able to capitalize on this experience in the classroom by integrating experiential problem-based learning into the curriculum, which often involves non-profit and advocacy organizations.

I have developed and taught courses in internet marketing, e-business management, internet strategy, online visibility, non-profit and social mark

eting, social networking, marketing and marketing management. I have co-developed and taught Social Interaction in a Digital Age, a communication course and I have also developed a course on Technological Innovation and taught in our general education area. I just completed teaching a course in Managing Online Communities  in our MFA program in Emergent Media.
