I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and French and a Master of Arts degree in Family Studies from the University of British Columbia (UBC). I then worked as a Researcher in Distance Education and Psychiatry as well as a sessional instructor in Family Studies at UBC. After several rewarding years in these positions, I decided to go back to graduate school to earn a PhD. I completed my degree in Human Development and Family Sciences from the University of Texas at Austin and once again returned to UBC to teach as a Sessional Instructor. As of 2019, I am an Associate Professor of Teaching, teaching approximately 450 students per year.

I very much enjoy the diversity my students bring to the learning environment. Often student comments and questions spark a research idea or have prompted me to find a new/better way of explaining a concept or theory. I am very happy to answer your questions, so please don’t hesitate to contact me.
