Regional Director, Marketing and Sales

I have mentored many college and graduate students, as well as young professionals, in my 30-year professional career.  I also spent more than 10 years teaching as an adjunct professor at the University of Utah and two years teaching at Salt Lake Community College. Not only did I mentor my students, but I usually hired students as interns and sometimes as full-time employees. As a mentor, I strongly believe in providing opportunities to problem solve and “own” various projects. It’s important that they learn by and through experience, not by simply observing.

VP Healthcare

I have done extensive coaching and mentoring throughout my career, as giving back has always been ingrained into my psyche. My approach is centered around   getting to know someone, understudying strengths and weakness, and determining areas the student would like to work on and improve. A major goal is to help equip a student with skills that can benefit them in pursuit of their desired career path. My last experience includes working with students from the University of Denver in Colorado.
