About Dr. Fulmore

Why did you become a professor?
I truly believe teaching is my vocation. During graduate school, I discovered that helping students learn, grow, and see new possibilities energized me in a way nothing else had. Teaching and research became more than a career choice. They became a calling. Being in the classroom allows me to combine purpose, curiosity, and service in a way that aligns deeply with who I am and what I value.

What do you enjoy most about teaching?
What I enjoy most is the interaction with students, including the conversations, questions, and moments of insight that happen both inside and outside the classroom. Because of my professional and academic background, I am able to connect theory to real-world situations and bring practical examples into our discussions. I enjoy challenging students to think critically while also supporting them as they grow in confidence and capability.

What do you hope students gain from your courses?
My goal is for students to leave my courses prepared for what comes next, whether that is their first job, a career transition, or advancement in their current field. I want students to develop not only strong technical knowledge, but also the skills, judgment, and ethical awareness that employers value and that lead to long-term professional success.

What did you do prior to entering academia?
Before becoming a full-time professor, I gained experience across multiple educational and professional settings. I worked in industry as a product manager for an international company based in Germany. I taught mathematics at the high school level and served as an instructional consultant at a state university. These experiences shape how I teach today and allow me to bring a broad, practical perspective into the classroom.

What are you passionate about outside of the University?
Outside of UD, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with my family. I love exploring new places, especially beaches around the world, and spending time outdoors with my husband and children. Whether it is being near the water or simply enjoying time together, those moments help keep me grounded and energized.

What are your research interests?
My research focuses on the intersection of ethics, organizational culture, leadership, and advanced quantitative methods. I study how organizational environments and leadership practices influence employee commitment, ethical decision-making, and behavior in the workplace.
