Areas of Business Responsible For: As a retiree, I am responsible for a department of one!
What Do You Bring to the Role: I have focused on building leadership skills, both my own and those of my colleagues by ensuring others have opportunities to engage in meaningful experiences to build their skillset. Having a vision and enlisting others to “get on the bus” is one of my strengths. I enjoy the debate process—listening to others’ views and making knowledge-based decisions that help SNA move forward. As a director, I led two award-winning departments that excelled in being on the forefront of innovation and best practices.
Education: Virginia Tech (PhD in Adult & Continuing Education; M.S. in Human Nutrition & Foods), Marshall University (B.S. in Dietetics).
Other Memberships or Affiliations: Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
What You Do in Your Free Time: Every day is a Saturday when you are retired! I travel, read, practice gentle yoga, strength, balance and water aerobics and spend as much time as possible with my kids and three grandchildren.
