She left her roles as a faculty member then administrator in the Arts and Sciences department to start Chrysalis Consulting LLC, a learning and professional development company.

With TAA’s sponsorship, institutions pay only $1,000. Each year, TAA co-sponsors a limited number of virtual writing workshops and writing retreats at universities and colleges across the U.S. Especially in light of budget cuts at colleges and universities, TAA’s support of these events helps enable institutions to continue providing professional development workshops to faculty.
