Topics of research are varied and interesting whether it s doing descriptive studies, field observations, surveys, or in-class experiments, this is a great tool for the interactive classroom experience.

She earned her bachelor s degree in Anthropology at UTSA, and her Master s in English at St. Mary s University where she was a Distinguished Graduate.
