Office Manager
As Office Manager, Felicia works on scheduling, travel arrangements, correspondence, press releases, the annual conference, membership, and the intern program, among other things. Felicia interned with the NGLCC for the fall term of 2006. During that internship she worked on the annual dinner, the silent auction, and business news.
Prior to coming to the NGLCC, Felicia was in retail management at Borders Books and Music for eleven years. During that time, she rose from entry level management to running a seven million-dollar multi-format store as General Manager. In those eleven years, Felicia gained valuable experience in leadership, management, customer service, home office liaison and communications. Felicia's store was the first in her district to receive the "Store of the Month" award. Prior to that, Felicia taught Latin (yes, Latin!) to middle-school and high-school students for nine years. During her tenure, she was promoted to the Head of the Classics Department. Throughout these years, as both teacher and manager, Felicia traveled extensively, studying Italian and Greek ruins, and opening Borders stores throughout the US and in Brighton, England.
Felicia holds an MA in Classical Studies from Villanova University and a BA in Political Science and Latin from Dickinson College. She lives in Bowie, MD with her wife, Emily, their orange cat, Mozart, and their Basset Hound, Dudley.
