Brief Bio: I grew up in New Mexico, graduated from Clovis High School and received my BS and MS from Eastern New Mexico University, a small university near my hometown. After teaching mathematics for 25 years (23 years in New Mexico) and moving to Reno in 1997 to marry a classmate from my high school graduating class, I completed a Ph.D. in Multicultural Teacher and Childhood Education at the University of New Mexico and began seeking a job at the University of Nevada, Reno.
After teaching part time at the university, I began working full time as an instructional designer in Teaching & Learning Technologies in 2000 and as the WebCampus support manager in 2006. In these roles, I interact daily with faculty across campus through workshops, consultations, phone and email conversations. This is my second term as a senator, having served previously from 2001 to 2004. Over the last several years I have served on a number of committees that have increased my awareness and knowledge of the university and its community of faculty, administrators and students. Recent committees include: Administrative Faculty Personnel Policies and Procedures Committee, 2002-2005; Academic Standards Committee, 2003-2008; Knowledge Management and Dissemination Task Force, 2006 (planning committee for the Knowledge Center); Administrative Faculty Evaluation Task Force, 2006-2007; Morale Study Task Force, 2006; and, Campus Affairs, 2008-present.
My personal hobbies include: playing golf (not well), playing bridge, walking our Australian Sheppard Tucker, traveling, and spending time with my husband, children (4) and grandchildren (4).
