With her 27 years of grant writing experience, Dr. Sales has been awarded 20+ million for students' success.

It would be hard to overstate the impact she has made at WKU.

Aside from her administrative roles, she also teaches and facilitates courses and trains students and her colleagues in her various areas of expertise.

A native of Franklin, Kentucky, Dr. Sales overcame the barrier of being a low-income and first-generation student herself, and went on to obtain the multiple degrees from WKU.

She has lots of interesting insights, especially on generations in the workforce and what we can learn from those patterns.
