Dr. Wheeler has primary areas of expertise in organizational behavior, organizational development, leadership, teams, and emotional intelligence.  She has been working on a CBA research grant, “The Importance of Political Skills for the Supply Manager”, which she and Dr. Hartley were awarded in 2009.  So far their work has resulted in a few conference presentations, a refereed proceeding, and an article getting prepared for publication.  Another research article she has co-authored, “Mission, Vision, and Values: What do they say?”  is under review at Organizational Development Journal.  A third scholarly work is entitled “Learning To Create an Effective Classroom Learning Event.” Other articles she is writing deal with emotional-social intelligence and social loafing.

Dr. Wheeler is all about the students. She says as far as a professional achievement, “I am most proud of my students.  Nothing makes me prouder than watching them graduate.” And she loves to teach.  In fact, when asked to identify the most interesting place she has visited, she replied, “The classroom is the most interesting place I have visited.  Although I have been to every U.S. state, Brazil, and Europe, the classroom is the best place that I have visited!!  Watching the students become engaged with the material and watching them actually learn is wonderful.”

The key business experience she brings to the classroom is her more than 20 years of consulting stories from her former positions at NYNEX Corporation (New England Telephone) and AT & T. There she received numerous awards and certifications in her positions as staff manager, staff director, account executive, and market administrator.
