Mary Carol Holbert, J.D., B.S.B.A. (Accounting)
Eight years spent living in Geneva, Switzerland broadened her communication horizons, giving her a keen appreciation for the nuances and intricacies involved in getting the desired message across to audiences with disparate backgrounds and experiences. While living in Europe, she teamed with company executives from around the globe, using her communication skills to inform, sell, motivate, and inspire major changes in corporate operations and structure.
Stateside, her love of storytelling lead her into amateur acting and a lengthy involvement in community theater. Creative writing remains a favorite art which she continually endeavors to enhance and perfect.
Over the last three years, Toastmasters International has also become an invaluable venue for the continued study and practice of public speaking skills.
