About Judy Adelizzi Parker
Educator, Course Developer, Author, and Marketing Strategist
I discovered my passion for teaching more than 20 years ago at the University of San Diego’s Knauss School of Business, where I started my career in marketing education. Since then, I’ve loved helping students and professionals grow, reach their goals, and find confidence in their abilities. Whether online or in person, I aim to create a welcoming, supportive space where every learner can develop practical skills and succeed far beyond the classroom.
"Never stop learning," a family motto, guided my decision to pursue an Ed.D. in Organizational Change and Leadership at University of Southern California (USC)., an MBA, Thunderbird School of Global Management, Arizona State University and BA, Communications at USC.
With over 30 years as a marketing strategist, I led successful business launches, secured partnerships, improved customer engagement, and sales. My clients are from the following industries:
- Higher Education
- Wellness and lifestyle
- Hospitality
- Nonprofits
- Entertainment
Mission and Philosophy
I help create opportunities for others to learn, develop, and thrive in their careers.
Meaningful learning happens when students connect ideas to real-world experiences. Through hands-on projects and case studies, they apply concepts, build confidence, and strengthen teamwork and leadership skills. Regular feedback and individualized support help every student progress, while additional tools ensure equitable opportunities for success. It’s rewarding to see companies adopt student-developed strategies or welcome them as team members. Teaching in diverse classrooms has reinforced the importance of creating an inclusive, supportive environment where all students feel valued and empowered to grow.
