For over 50 years, have been involved in the competitive business of fashion that designs, produces, sells, and distributes goods on various levels. I personally have designed, worked in production, and distribution, and as the owner/operator of several retail businesses and service businesses, I have the experience to be a competitive force in the business world. I have an undergraduate degree in Marketing Education and taught in the Public School system for four years. After receiving my M.S.E.D in Secondary Education, I was an instructor of Marketing Education at Â鶹´«Ã½ from 1975-80.
I left education for 20 years to manage my businesses. I returned to Â鶹´«Ã½ in 2020 as a Fashion Merchandising instructor.
M.S.Ed. in Secondary Education, Â鶹´«Ã½, (1975)
