Biography
I’m a current Ph.D. student studying women’s role in higher education leadership. I have a master’s degree in Experimental Psychology, I met my husband at age 17 and have two young daughters. I love sweets, and my favorite is cookie dough!
I’ve liked MSMU since 1998 when I came here as a potential undergraduate applicant (there’s a story there, come by my office hours, and I’ll tell it to you!). I’ve been employed here since 2009; it’s great working with interesting students and dedicated co-workers. I enjoy being able to teach in different formats and programs so that I can interact with a variety of student populations.
Research Topics of Interest
My research topics of interest are Women in Higher Education Leadership and Teaching and Learning of Psychology in Higher Education.
Courses
These are some examples of courses I have taught at MSMU:
- Capstone
- Statistics (in-person, hybrid, online in 16 weeks, accelerated online)
