Previously she worked as program director and educational outreach coordinator for National Institutes of Health and National Institute on Drug Abuse training grants related to the brain and learning, addiction and mental illness for 12 years. Her thirty years of classroom experience span grades K-post secondary education with her primary focus on middle school and high school science and health, health education for undergraduate pre-service teachers and adult learning theory. She has been actively involved in the development of hands-on science curricula for elementary and middle school teachers, teacher training for the Seattle Archdiocese, Washington Association for Biomedical Research, Washington State Science Teachers' Association and the National Alliance for on Mental Illness, and development of on-line courses on the brain and neurobiology of addiction for professionals.

Her current research focuses on young adults (ages 18-30) with schizophrenia. Use of qualitative and quantitative methodologies help her explore the meaning of happiness and experience of hope for this population.
