Did you know these fun facts about our Assistant Provost of Global Initiatives? - We are a true Miami family. My mother retired from Miami after working many years in the Shriver Center business office. I have 2 children–Nicki and Rachel– who both work at Miami, and their father retired from Miami after working over 25 years as a stationary engineer in the power plant. My sister, Suzanne, retired recently after working in various areas as a business/systems analyst, most recently in Enrollment Management. And, I'm a three time graduate of Miami, as well as a Miami merger–my husband Tim has a Bachelor's degree in History from Miami. I am going into my 35th year at Miami.
- I grew up in...Oxford, Ohio. The house where I lived until I was 8 years old is at 116 N. Tallawanda, which is now student housing. I have also lived in Reno, NV, San Diego, CA, and Bremerton, WA, and traveled the world (42 countries by my count) in pursuit of the ideal place to live. I found that in Oxford.
- I'm a New Years baby! I was born in a mid-size city, so I wasn't the first one born that day... I was #7, and I arrived when the doctor's attention was diverted back to me during halftime of the Rose Bowl.
- My research interests focus in intercultural aspects of curriculum, specifically, how we, as educators, cultivate curiosity in students, especially intercultural wonderment. I look at how an understanding of culture is a threshold concept that cultivates higher levels of curiosity. Follow your curiosity!
- I gave the opening serve for the Miami Women's Volleyball game in November. I was just glad to get it over the net!

MUDEC gives students real business experience through internships “One opportunity I had when I was at MUDEC was to be an intern at the US Embassy. I worked in the foreign commercial service section and through that role I got to interact with the commerce department and learn what they did overseas. To interact in that office, to work on trade leads, to prepare a few trade reports for an ambassador, at that time it was Ambassador Ann Wagner, it gave me a real front seat into how global diplomacy was working in the framework of business.”
