Kirstin Guptill teaches Human Resource Management in the Davis School of Business. This course is designed to provide an overview of Human Resource principles and applications. Her teaching philosophy is based around communication and conversation. She believes that while we can study concepts and theory, the best way to firmly grasp new knowledge and application is to discuss and develop ideas on past, current and future real world implications to these theories. Guptill has a passion for teaching and sharing new ideas in regards to Human Resources, not only in the classroom but also with her involvement as the Past-Board President of Western Colorado Human Resource Association and as the Education Director for Colorado Society for Human Resource Management.
Guptill currently works full-time as an human resource manager with a Community Healthcare Center in Mesa County, where she spends her time develops and directs the Human Resource functions and department. Additionally, she spends her spare time building and developing learning opportunities for HR and business professionals in the Grand Valley through the Western Colorado Human Resource Association
