Welcome to my personal page. Here are some thoughts that might illustrate a little about who I am.
What makes me tick?
Helping people gain information and the skills to use it. I guess that's why I'm passionate about both Marketing and Education.
Accomplishments I'm proudest of:
Writing a life-skills text book that really engages students. Gaining market share for Pepsi over Coke in Mexico, getting elected to the Newburyport School Committee (School Board) and raising 3 great kids.
Most Exciting Jobs I've held:
Vice President of Marketing at Jafra Cosmetics, because of the amount of motivational speaking and the fun nature of the products. Vice President Business Development for Muzzy Lane Software because of the contact with educators; a perfect blend of education and marketing!
Where you'll most likely find me on a Saturday afternoon:
Cooking up a storm with Brahms or Chopin playing in the background. My friends say my specialty is Mexican food, but I honestly enjoy cooking something for the first time the most.
What I have been reading:
For work, Education Nation by Milton Chen, 21st Century Skills by Bernie Trilling and Bellanca and Brandt's 21st Century Skils: Rethinking how students learn. For pleasure, David Remick's Secret Ingredients.
