Teaching Interests

My goals as a teacher are to introduce students to new knowledge and information; help them further developing their existing skills and knowledge; and support them as they continue to improve their abilities to think critically, to communicate effectively, and to work with peers. I love teaching and exploring psychology with students in my classes, and I seek to involve and engage students in learning and in psychology through in-class discussions, in-class exercises and activities, lectures, and homework assignments.

Research and Scholarship Interests

In addition to teaching at UW Bothell, I worked as a consultant applying psychology theory and research methods to design, conduct, and manage research projects. I have worked with a wide variety of government and private-sector organizations on studies of public opinion, employee opinions, customer needs, customer satisfaction, and service quality. At UWB my research has included program evaluation, strategic planning, and needs assessment.
