She most recently was a professor of education and coordinator of the Pre-K to grade 4 and special education programs at Robert Morris University in Pennsylvania. During her 10 years there, she led the Education Department for three years and was their assessment coordinator for three years.
She said she was attracted to not only the position at Flagler, but also the people. “I thrive on working with undergraduate students who want to be teachers,” she said.
During her tenure at Robert Morris, she worked on numerous curricula, grants and academic initiatives. Her work included co-developing an interdisciplinary studies Bachelor of Arts degree for students interested in working with children, youth and young adults who did not want to pursue teacher certification.
