Amy Eifling is a newlywed; she got married last June. It's hard to imagine how she found the time. In the past two years, she has become a partner in an HRD consulting firm, working full-time; earned a master's of science in workforce training and development; started her PhD in international development; held two assistantships to help with tuition; served on the board of, and been elected president of, the Mississippi chapter of ASTD. Eifling arrived at training and development as her life's work via a circuitous route: She earned a degree in interior design and spent the first few years of her career living in Texas, designing upscale retirement communities.
