Let the graduation season begin! I had the honor of delivering the Continuation of Excellence speech at the Master’s Completion Ceremony for graduate students in the School of Nursing and the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders for the College of Health and Human Services. What a wonderful group of young people! Clearly they are riveted by my profound words of wisdom. #sacramentostate #commencement #madeatsacstate (at Sacramento State) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxf5JDvluJT/?igshid=1areg9jiswf6a

Why do I get stuff like this? The only problem with teaching a course in wine tourism is that whenever people see things like this, they feel a great urge to send it to you - and they want you to find it hilarious. :-/ I’m sure everyone has something relatable from their jobs that’s equally unfunny. #stupidwinestuff #ilovemyjob https://www.instagram.com/p/Btj0kVNFspk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1axha91qzrkee
