She has been a faculty member at FSU since August 2004, serving as Department Chair from 2007-2009. She believes that teaching is not just the mechanics of the classroom or simple numbers on a survey. It is a frame of mind to meet students where they are, and get them to their next level. For Dr. Guevara, teaching is a micro process (teaching to individual learning styles), with a macro outcome (classes of students, all gaining knowledge together to become critical thinkers and consumers of knowledge). For Dr. Guevara, teaching is not about doing stuff but about reaching students. She considers herself as sort of an all-purpose teacher. She has volunteered to adjust her teaching schedule to help the Department of Criminal Justice meet the needs of the students, including traditional and non-traditional, on-line, and on campus.
