"I was very interested in marketing at Augustana and enjoyed my classes, but I didn't really know anyone who was in the field and wasn't sure if I could pursue a marketing career. I think I could offer students real life examples of how marketing plays a role in business. My background in other business functions like strategy, sales, and operations may also help students see the 'big picture' in business.
Working for an international company and providing insight may also be of interest to students.
I currently manage a group of students at Texas Tech University as a part of their Sales and Customer Experience class at the College of Business. I welcome similar opportunities to participate in student learning."
