Dr. Fish’s area of professional expertise is in operations and global supply chain management, where her strong background in industrial and production systems engineering provides her students with a real-world understanding of concepts presented in the classroom.

Her experiential teaching methods have been recognized twice on a national scale, as she was asked on two different occasions to present her techniques at the Decision Sciences Institute’s national meetings. Several of these techniques have been published in the prestigious Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education.

Dr. Fish’s expertise in project management, supply chain management, ergonomics and industrial efficiency has made her a valuable consultant to industry. Her clients have included Fisher-Price, Xerox, Bausch & Lomb, General Motors, and General Mills.
