Having achieved success as a business woman without a formal degree, Gloria returned to college at the age of 39; earning a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Business Administration and graduating Summa Cum Laude. She was drawn to the higher education environment and subsequently accepted a position to revive rapidly declining enrollment numbers at the institution from which she graduated. Within two short student recruitment cycles; she was able to meet and exceed goals with an enrollment that was the highest in the institutions history. It was at this time that she realized her true calling: motivational management, building and motivating highly productive sales and customer service teams. Her career in higher education culminated 20 years later at yet another institution but not before she earned the distinction of becoming the first female vice president at St. Louis College of Pharmacy.
