I am a Graduate Instructor for OLPD 3424: Sales Training and a Graduate Assistant for the Center for Sales Leadership and Education (CSLE), where I coordinate the annual Twin Cities Collegiate Sales Team Championship (TCCSTC). Before joining the University of Minnesota, I worked in career services, marketing communications, and donor relations at the University of North Dakota. Since 2019, I have operated a small fine art and greeting card business, Abby Grace Designs LLC. My doctoral research revolves around vocational development through real-world practice.
