I joined the faculty of the Psychology Department in August 1996. I was hired for my interest and expertise in teaching and teaching remains my emphasis. I specialize in teaching Introduction to Psychology using a teaching paradigm called Team-Based Learning. I typically teach 300-400 Introduction to Psychology students every academic year. I have written a textbook specifically for use in my team-based learning Intro Psych classes: Psychology for Everyday Life. I also offer regular workshops on team-based learning for the NMSU Teaching Academy.

When I'm not working, I tend to my husband, Keith, and sons (Ian age 18 and Erik age 17) and my critters. For fun, I read, knit, crochet, or relax with a nice pint of beer.
