Matthew Gilbert’s Summary
Dedicated to learning continuously and living generatively, I am an author, entrepreneur and professor teaching classes in business, communication and English to adult learners throughout Southern California and worldwide in asynchronous online classrooms. I am drawn to teaching because, while it can be as demanding as it is rewarding, no other professional experience has allowed me to positively influence the lives of others while giving my own life greater meaning and purpose.
Before endeavoring into education I worked in marketing for more than a decade. I designed ads, brochures, direct mail, public relations campaigns, presentations and websites. As a consultant, I developed management training programs, summer internship initiatives, computer-based training modules and online recruitment procedures. As the owner of Generative Learning Group, a training and communications consultancy, I manage clients, employees, interns and vendors.
An award-winning writer and personable speaker, I have published eleven academic papers and presented nine of them at academic conferences. With journalism roots going as far back as grade school, you can find my byline on countless articles in national, regional and local publications. I have also served as a paper reviewer for three academic conferences. Further, I maintain a blog, doctorious.org, with which I chronicle my adventures in academia while featuring stories related to the courses I teach.
Educationally, I hold a BA in English with an emphasis in creative writing from UC Santa Barbara and earned an MBA from Woodbury University. Committed to earning a doctorate, I am identifying programs in which I can investigate the impact of social media on the creation and distribution of information
