In my professional life, prior to working on my PhD, I worked in the technology field for 27 years and in a technology management capacity for 14 of the 27 years. The seeds of my desire to go into academics were sown four years ago, when during my Master’s program, I worked on class projects as part of a team with members that were less experienced in the professional mainstream. I spent some of my time outside of the project engaged in answering questions and inquiries about how “the real world is” from these students. These were very rewarding experiences that allowed me the opportunity to bring some of my research and work experience into the classroom and share it.
How my IT experience translates to the classroom!
Experience is knowledge, and knowledge can become wisdom. This is what I offer to my students. I teach the class topic information, but I also teach them how to use that information to become better employees, team members, and managers. Ways to use that knowledge to continue to improve and prosper in their business endeavors and how to wisely use it.
How will I be a different teacher due to my work experience?
This industry experience also translates into becoming a better teacher, by attentiveness and learning from my students and other teachers. Experience has taught me how to be a member of a learning society; both my learning and theirs.
