Prior to teaching, Beth worked in retail banking for over 12 years and spent a year in the senior management team of a local visiting nurse organization as the human resource director.

Beth has worked with online learners via GSC since the inception of the OIC many years ago; most often teaching HR related courses.

Beth says about GSC: I really appreciate working with adult learners who are actively employed in the trenches of HR and management. It helps keep me fresh. I get the most updated information via our discussions about what is really happening in HR practice in different types of organizations. My discussions with GSC learners helps inform me and my varied students of concepts that go beyond the textbook. I would have a far more constrained perspective if it weren’t for all I learn from my online participants!
