Hello, I'm Mary Dantzler.

In addition to providing professional and business communication services and training seminars, I am a university/college instructor of Communication and Writing who teaches a variety of Communication courses, including: Business and Professional Communication, Interpersonal and Intercultural Communication, Public Speaking, Persuasion and Advocacy, Leadership Communication, Group and Team-Based Communication, Mass Media, and others. Additionally, I taught academic writing in college and facilitated professional writing and communication seminars and workshops for businesses.

 

I earned both my Master’s and Bachelor of Art degrees in Communication from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, and an Associate of Arts and Science degree in Liberal Arts and Ethnic Studies from the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay. I was the recipient of several awards and recognitions, including the Chancellor's Graduate Award, the Melvin H. Miller Award for Service, and a lifetime induction in the Lambda Pi Eta National Honor Society for Communication and the Golden Key International Honour Society.

 

Additionally, I am an experienced Communication researcher, selected to present my research in Washington D.C. at the International Communication Association (ICA) conference, the Central States Communication Association conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and other professional conferences. I have been invited as a guest lecturer, addressing end-of-life communication at the Wisconsin Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons Conference, and have given a TEDx Talk on "Dying Right Through Communication". I am currently working on publishing a scholarly article on end-of-life communication.  

​

I have many years of experience working as a newspaper and magazine correspondent, columnist, and editor, for several local newspapers and a national magazine. I now work as a communication consultant and trainer, facilitating workshops for various organizations, businesses, and schools. I am a member of several professional organizations, including: the International Communication Association (ICA), National Communication Association (NCA), Central States Communication Association (CSCA), and am a former member and officer of Toastmasters International.
