Research national trends on diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education.
Development of instructional materials to inform educational activities.

My discipline of study is literacy and thus I love language and focus on how it is used, what it conveys, and what it creates more so than simply describes. The poet Elizabeth Alexander describes individual words with power as “language that shimmers.” I really enjoy listening to the language people use. Sometimes I focus on a particular word someone articulates and ask myself, why did they use that word? How does it point to who they are? What does that word convey about their experiences/ understandings?

Beyond my intense interest in language, I really enjoy lifting weights; I focus on one body part per day in the gym (e.g. Monday: legs, Tuesday: arms, etc.) and love taking walks with my pug, Samson.

INAD 4008J

Hailing from the chilly land of Winnipeg, she spent years navigating the diverse life of Toronto. Her mornings were fueled by Tim Hortons Double Double, a ritual as sacred as the Canadian winter itself. Recently, she made a leap to Indiana, bringing along her Canadian furballs: one adventurous dog and two mischievous cats, each adopted from different friends.
Driving is always an adventure. The real kicker? She managed to crash her brand-new car to the garage door.
Oh, and she loves suspense and detective novels! There’s nothing quite like unraveling mysteries and piecing together clues like a sleuth on a mission.

I love IU Indianapolis! I've spent all my professional life here obtaining two degrees along the way.
I daydream about living in a beach house in Daytona with my husband. I have three children, five grandchildren, one dog, nine fish, and my mother lives with us full-time. I love to garden (flowers), go on cruises, crochet, and listen to audiobooks. I'm a Christian which defines who I am.
Don't touch the corner piece of cake--all of them are MINE! My lifelong (non-realistic) dream has been to visit the Great Pyramids and put my hand on a block of stone, which suddenly moves opening up an undiscovered tomb. Sadly, I can tell you what happens in all of the Brady Bunch episodes.
Since I read a lot, I keep a list of every book I read every year (catch me on Goodreads). Favorite authors: Stephen King, Stuart Woods, Janet Evanovich, James Patterson, and Lillian Jackson Braun.

I’ve been learning French for 7 years as a hobby.
I love with Creole and Cajun food so much that I make gumbo every year for Christmas for my family and friends in Indiana.
I love all kinds of music and had so many CDs (remember those) in college, so much that my nickname was DJ.
