Education and Career

Walsh attended Bloomfield Hills Schools where she received an amazing education, something for which she is still grateful to her many teachers. At school, she was part of a diverse student population that exposed her to different cultures, races, religions, and backgrounds. She learned not only that there is beauty in cultural differences, but also that there are so many things that people share regardless of those differences. Walsh has Masters degrees in Public Administration and Public Policy from American University in Washington, DC. She did her undergrad at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, studying business and science, including a concentration in management and communications. Her career has spanned marketing, commercial lending, medical device sales and sales management and operations, which culminated in a focus on strategic planning and operational management. Walsh has worked with global and diverse companies on cultural training within their workforce as well as with the client base. Her work in strategic planning, learning in depth about cultures, and helping her global clients with life in a new community serve her well in her current role as Township Supervisor as the Township is very diverse in race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic circumstances, and politics.
