Your favorite moment from teaching in the OCL Program?
The final project in EDUC 725: Analyzing Change and its Effectiveness. The project, "Creating a Vision for Organizational Change", lets the creativity flow. While the components might be identical from group to group, the vision creates a feeling that can be completely different despite the same components.
What is your favorite snack?
Frozen Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, but I cannot eat them anymore. So I would say Diet Coke. When I was working in international education, Diet Coke was my constant as I traveled the world. The recipe is always the same, unlike regular coke.
What is the best song to start the day with?
Ready for it? Style (TV) - Taylor Swift or Out of the Woods (TV) - Taylor Swift. If I have to go non-Taylor, The Best - Tina Turner or So What - Pink.
Three words of wisdom for our OCL students?
Stay consistent with the time you spend on your dissertation vs. classwork. Remember, trust takes time to build. Courage is as contagious as fear; OCL pushes you to think in new ways, see the world differently, and be open as well as reflective.
Favorite book?
A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.
Do you have any hidden talents or skills?
Going with something I cannot do. I cannot roll my tongue, which means I'm not able to roll my R's in Spanish. In fact, the ability to roll your tongue or not is genetic.
If you were not in academia, what career would you choose?
Concert production, hopefully for Taylor or Pink.
