About Judy Adelizzi Parker
Educator, Course Developer, Author, and Marketing Strategist
I found my calling as a marketing professor over 20 years ago at University of San Diego's Knauss School of Business. Ever since, I have been teaching undergraduate and graduate level business courses at multiple universities, online and in person with classroom sizes between 25-60. With a student-centered teaching style, I focus on developing and teaching courses for all types of learners.
"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
To empower all types of learners' academic and career pursuits while making a meaningful impact. Students receive practical knowledge, real-life case studies, and interactive, “hands-on” projects-based learning experiences they can apply beyond the classroom. Students are given milestones and feedback throughout the semester. They also learn to collaborate with their teams and effectively polish their leadership skills. I offer extra guidance and test-taking tools to students with learning challenges. Companies reported utilizing student-developed strategies or recruiting them as team members. Serving as a professor in culturally diverse learning environments, I embrace diversity and strive to create an inclusive and safe place for students while actively supporting their academic and professional endeavors.
