My degrees: undergraduate is from Smith College (Northampton, MA) with a major in physics and a minor in theater; masters is from DePaul University (Chicago, IL) in physics; doctorate in science education with a focus on physics education from Boston University (Boston, MA).
 

I was a postdoc at Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, MI) for three years, working with Charles Henderson. Similar to now, my work varied from day to day as I was doing quite a bit of evaluation work along with research during that time.
 

I've remained in Michigan after my postdoc, and I work as a consultant/project manager/evaluator/researcher on a plethora of projects- every day is a little different! If you are interested in working with me or are curious about my services, please check out this page.​

My work delves into postsecondary education and includes students (undergraduate and graduate), staff, and faculty.
 

Much of my work involves some if not all of the following: sustainability and adoption of projects/innovations; equity and inclusion; research practices; and social experiences within education.

I'm a co-guest editor for Physical Review- Physics Education Research (Phys. Rev.- PR or PRPER) Focused Collection, Qualitative Methods in PER: A Critical Examination
 

I'm a co-PI on a grant that is called the Data Science Education Community of Practice (DSECOP), funded by a grant through the American Physical Society (APS) Innovation Fund
 

I work as the project manager for the Physics and Astronomy STEMM Equity Achievement (SEA) Change project. This is a partnership through multiple physics and astronomy professional societies, as well as AAAS. Physics and astronomy is the first to pilot for the disciplinary awards. We are in the pilot phase.
 

I serve as a member-at-large on the APS Group on Physics Education Research (GPER) and as a member on the APS Committee on Membership.

I was a co-guest editor for Physical Review- Physics Education Research (Phys. Rev.- PR or PRPER) Focused Collection, Quantitative Methods in PER: A Critical Examination
 

I also co-edited and wrote two chapters in a book on social network analysis, Researching and Enacting Change in Postsecondary Education: Leveraging Instructors' Social Networks
 

I co-organized the Physics Education Research Conference (PERC) in 2020. Our theme was Insights, Reflections, & Future Directions: Emergent Themes in the Evolving PER Community.
 

I was the chair of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT)'s Committee on Diversity in Physics for 2021. I was previously vice-chair during 2020.
