Why Marquette

I’ve been at Marquette for over 25 years and the reason is Marquette has given me the opportunity to be an educational entrepreneur. I’ve been given the opportunity to design new courses in Mobile Communication, Content Strategy, Communication Design, and Digital Storytelling. Marquette supports interdisciplinary collaboration so I’ve been encouraged to work with faculty and students in Engineering, Business Administration, and the Health Sciences. Over twenty-five years is a long time for a professional to work in academia, but dedication has allowed me to evolve as a teacher, scholar, and creative professional.
