She earned her Ph.D. in Accounting from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and was inspired by her father to pursue a career in accounting.
Throughout her academic career, Blix has helped students explore opportunities in the accounting profession and prepare for their careers. Her work includes career guidance, resume preparation, professional mentorship, and creating opportunities for students to develop leadership skills and professional connections.
During her nine years at Sam Houston State University, Blix has also played an active role in Beta Alpha Psi as an advisor to the Kappa Mu chapter.

As a Beta Alpha Psi Professional Partner representing the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA & CIMA), I am fortunate to interact with highly accomplished students who are poised to become leaders in the accounting and financial services industry. I envision many of them taking on strategic roles with macroeconomic influence. Supporting their academic and professional growth with AICPA & CIMA resources is an incredibly rewarding experience.
