Not having any background experience in marketing or advertising, my "wow" moment came when I realized that even with the little knowledge I had in the area-I was being given an opportunity to go back to my program and help increase our marketing strategies by creating goals to meet and increase awareness of our services. Thank you for that opportunity!

I like developing creative activities that help the learning process for attendees. One of my favorite exercises is Jeopardy – questions around the subject matter. It is fun to see how excited attendees get about showing their knowledge of the subject matter.
