Biography

I am a Lecturer of Management in the College of Business at Clayton State University. I received my MBA from Clayton State University and a BBA from the University of Georgia. As an Adjunct Professor of Management, I taught at the College of Business for two years. Teaching Management and Marketing courses at the College of Business has been a rewarding experience. Fall semester of 2019, I was hired as a full-time Lecturer of Management and the Internship Coordinator at the College of Business. I have focused on creating my courses into online formats and receiving national online class certification for my Management Communications course. The Internship Program has grown and is a requirement for graduation, currently. I am married, and I have three daughters and four grandchildren. All three of my daughters received college degrees, and two are graduates of Clayton State University.
