Biography
Building a medical staffing firm into a multi-million dollar enterprise has given me experience in nearly all areas of marketing, and strategic planning
sales management in particular. The practical and successful application of marketing concepts made a positive difference in the lives of many employees and their families.
I started my career as a professor of music and earned the Doctor of Musical Arts degree from The University of Michigan. After six years, I made a career change and went on to receive an MBA from the University of Detroit.
I sold my business in 2015 and returned to my earlier love of working with students. It is a privilege to be affiliated with the Mike Ilitch School of Business!
