In addition to undergraduate and graduate classes, she has been teaching the module on Creating High Impact Teams in the Executive Leadership Program since its inauguration in 1998. She has worked with executives from a wide variety of industries and enjoys sharing her knowledge of best practices for designing and leading exceptional teams. Recently, she has delivered talks for Costco Wholesale Corporation’s 2008 Managers’ Conference, Russell Investment international Legal and Compliance Officers (2007), and Holy Names High School Board of Directors' Retreat (2008).
