I have been teaching at the University of Mary since 1998. I came to the university after working in the North Dakota Attorney General's Office for seven years. While there I audited charitable gaming organizations. I stay up-to-date in accounting as the secretary/treasurer for an S corporation owned and operated by my husband Steve.

On Servant Leadership . . .

Leaders are not always the ones up front and in the headlines.  Leaders help those around them perform to their highest potential, providing whatever support is needed. As an accounting major at the University of Mary, you will learn to lead through service as an ethical, skilled professional.  
 
"A good leader is not the person who does things right, but the person who finds the right things to do."  Anthony T. Dadovano
