She teaches courses in developmental psychology, research methods, psychology of gender, and Women’s and Gender Studies. She was a teaching fellow in the Wisconsin Teaching Fellows and Scholars program, a yearlong professional development program focused on the scholarship of teaching and learning. This led her to conduct research on student learning in developmental psychology and gender courses.
