Dr. White is originally from New York City (The Bronx) and went to school there. Her undergraduate college degree is in Marketing from Pace University, an MBA is from Fordham University, a Post Masters from Iona College, and finally a Ph.D. is from New York University.
Experience in business includes Citibank as an Assistant Product Manager, Chemical Bank (now Chase) as a Product Manager, and then Sales at AT&T in White Plains and NYC. At AT&T she started selling telecommunication services to small and medium sized businesses and was then assigned to NBC which was part of General Electric.
Dr. White has been at Orange County Community College for several years and has taught many business courses. At this time, she teaches both Introduction to Business and Entrepreneurship in class, web enhanced, and online (distance learning) for about eight years. Additional teaching includes Business and Society in class and web enhanced.
Since 2001 Dr. White has been the faculty advisor to the Business Club. Please see the club's web site for details. All students are welcome to join. She looks forward to welcoming new members at Tuesdays meeting in Harriman Hall, room 200 at 11 AM.
Hobbies include reading, traveling, down-hill skiing but only on groomed slopes, cross country skiing, and trying to cook. This past summer she took golf lessons and played several times. It is a very social sport but can also be very frustrating. She would recommend it to anyone who wants to get ahead in business. If you work for a company they often have golf outings to which you can take a customer or spend a day out with coworkers. If you are an entrepreneur it is a good way to bond with existing customers or develop new ones.
Travel has encompassed nearly 40 different countries. In the last few years the most notable trips have been to New Zealand, China, Russia, Poland, Italy, Germany, and Denmark. Recently spending a week in France splitting time between Normandy and Paris. During Spring break, March 2008, she and her husband went to Palau for a kayaking and snorkeling trip which was really exciting and challenging. This past summer included a cruise along the Dalmation coast with stops in Croatia, Slovenia, and Montenegro. This trip was very interesting and informative since it is a part of the world that she was not familiar with. Last December there was a cruise to the Galapagos Islands, spending time in Ecuador’s capital city of Quito.
