Her teaching has included undergraduate and graduate courses in lifespan development, applied developmental psychology, cross-cultural development and psychological assessment.

As a University in the City Scholar and working with UMass Lowell's Center for Family, Work and Community, she was a founding member of the Greater Lowell Family Resource Collaborative.
