Teaching Interests
I enjoy teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, focusing on instructional methodology and classroom management within the career technical education discipline. My role as a teacher educator also includes supervising FCS students through preservice teacher practicum experiences. Aside from FCS education, I enjoy teaching a large general-education course on universal dress practices. <br><br>As an educator, I live by the three pillars of my teaching philosophy, <i>"Make it Known, Make it Real, and Make it Matter."</i>
Research Interests
My research interests focus on strengthening the quality and presence of family and consumer sciences (FCS) curriculum and instruction in secondary and higher education to improve individuals, families, and communities. I specifically look at how to enhance the effectiveness of career technical education curriculum, emphasizing FCS, through the contributions of school-based and non-formal teacher preparation programs. <br><br>Additional research concentration involves preparing adolescents for the transition into adulthood using a life-skills-based curriculum aligned with the characteristics of the 21st century.
