Educator

Whether teaching adults after hours at a major corporation, or military who are earning their bachelor’s degree on a fast track, or undergraduates at a public state university, Barbara inspires her students to realize their dreams. Her warm and caring manner belies the fact that she demands the best from her students and won’t accept mediocre performance ever. She also stays ahead of the curve with regards to curriculum. For example, she integrated social media and technology into her marketing, advertising, public relations, and sales curriculum; at times ahead of her students and definitely in advance of the accreditation team. Known for her interactive teaching style, students have videotaped her on their cell phones and threatened to post some of her performances on YouTube.
