It became a lifestyle focus of mine when I turned 40 in 2018. At that time I started my MBA and juggled being a Mom, Wife, Teacher, all while taking courses on a full-term schedule. In 2018 my maternal Grandmother passed away. This was a hard death to deal with because I had her in my life for so many years. During my childhood she lived with us, so our bond was very close. I learned since then the importance of aging naturally yet gracefully. I learned to focus on me and those close to me. This has resulted in so many life changing events for me, my kids, and my husband.  Since the podcast Motto: “We are what we repeatedly do.

Teaching employability skills, time management, organization, the tricks to getting hired, the secret to getting that promotion at their dream job, and so much more. Every single subject a student takes has so much value. I'm just a little biased to my subject. The School of Business is a total vibe."
