Welcome!
Throughout this site, you will learn more about me as an individual and my calling to teach. I created this site to share resources with students as well as colleagues, drawing on my experiences at the
University of Mount Union and Chatham University.

Mindfulness meditationMindfulness has been a growing part of my life. Dan Harris does a great job explaining meditation for those who may be a little skeptical. I try to incorporate small exercises like this one at the beginning of class, especially on crazy days, to help students focus their attention. I want them getting the most out of every class. If that means starting with a 2 minutes of mindfulness exercise, then away we go!

Take the 7-Day Digital Detox challenge
|
In addition to practicing mindful meditation, I would be remiss if I didn't talk about the elephant in the room: the growing epidemic of "digital connectedness" that is actually separating us. Even as I teach a course on digital marketing, I want to encourage my students to create healthy boundaries to help protect the close relationships in their lives. Each year, I challenge my students to unplug over spring break as they are able. If you participate in the 7 day-challenge, I'd love to hear about your experiences on the other side! Too easy? Build your own 30-day challenge to living a more fuller, happier, and healthier life. "There are only two industries that call their customers 'users': illegal drugs & software."
