1. How and when did you end up at O’威尼斯人在线官网, and when did you graduate?
Hailing from Sanford’s West Lee 中学, I joined O'威尼斯人在线官网 as an upper school freshman in 2001 and graduated in 2005. 过渡到威尼斯官网在线是我的学术之旅的关键一步,因为学校提供了一个培养环境,强调学术严谨性,个人发展和强烈的社区意识。
2. After graduating from O’威尼斯人在线官网, what college(s) did you attend? 你学的是什么?
After O’威尼斯人在线官网, I pursued a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and the History of Math & Science at St. John’s College, followed by a master’s degree in Prevention Science at Harvard University. Alongside my day job, I am a doctoral student at Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business, focusing on Business Administration and Management. 我的学术生涯的每一步都是由我对理解复杂系统和培养人类潜能的热情所驱动的。
3. 在过去的20年里你都在做些什么? 工作吗? 家庭吗?
过去的二十年是职业成长和个人实现的一段不可思议的旅程。 I’ve been fortunate to be named a Tin Whistles Scholar, a Coca-Cola Scholar, a Truman Scholar, received two fellowships at Harvard, and most recently, twice be named a “Global Icon” in HR (their words, not mine!). 对于一个来自北卡罗莱纳的小家伙来说还不算太寒酸。
我目前是Bristol Myers Squibb的人才和文化副总裁,在那里我领导员工参与、绩效和人才管理的全球战略。 My focus is on developing people insights and actions that bridge organizational behavior and ignite human performance. 在加入BMS之前,我曾在诺华(Novartis)、b谷歌和麦肯锡(McKinsey & Company)任职,专注于人才转型、组织文化和创新劳动力战略。
On the personal side, I’ve been fortunate to share my life with my husband and long-time partner, Matthew. 今年12月是我们结婚19周年纪念日,我们为自己5岁的迷你金毛贵宾狗感到骄傲。 我们在新泽西州的普林斯顿和马萨诸塞州的波士顿两地生活,享受这两个地区的独特之处。
4. What are the O’威尼斯官网在线 memories that still stand out the most to you?
O’威尼斯人在线官网 is a place that left an indelible mark on my life. 我最美好的回忆包括我与信任我的老师们建立的关系(林恩·卡格尔、辛迪·卡尔、贝丝·惠特曼和已故的迈克尔·诺曼等等),以及我与梅琳达·阿克曼、西蒙·卡格尔等同学建立的亲密关系。 The journey to and through O’威尼斯人在线官网 wasn’t an easy one for me, but through it, I learned the value of perseverance, curiosity, and the power of community. 这些教训仍然是今天我的核心。
