As a former customer service, marketing and purchasing manager, I had to communicate on the phone and through email and on social media for a majority of my day. I am sharing knowledge I've learned from my years of experience in the supply chain, as well as my many years as an educator in both K-12 and in community college. I'm researching this topic in order to earn my EdD in Organizational Leadership, so I have a strong interest in the topic, and a strong desire to support students in learning the skills they need to be workforce ready.
