Her research is focused on the preparation and training of graduate students involved in the teaching of calculus at institutions with successful calculus programs. She is interested in the ways graduate students' preparation to teach inform their teaching practices, their beliefs about mathematics, and their students' success. Through this work she hopes to aid in the development of mentoring and apprenticeship programs that prepare future mathematics faculty nationwide. Her interest in MPWR stems from her own reflections on the role that mentoring has played in her development as a member of the RUME community. She has been blessed with many opportunities for mentorship throughout her career, and hopes to extend these opportunities to all women in the RUME community through the MPWR seminar.
