During my admissions conversation for Northwestern’s Medill School, someone told me there was a story in there. I’ve been fascinated with storytelling ever since.
The Medill program paired communications with MBA-style business training — a mix I still lean on every day. It introduced me to Design Thinking, and to faculty and classmates who challenged me and sharpened my love of marketing and advertising.
Today I share that passion with my team at Kids Quest and with my students at Metropolitan State University, where I’m Community Faculty in the College of Management. The best part of teaching is watching a light-bulb moment happen.
“A goal without a plan is nothing more than a wish.”
