Her work started with a focus on gender with students in STEM programs. As Director of Women in Technology from 2010-2013, she led multiple grant-funded initiatives. This included a five-year NSF funded (over a half-million dollars) scholarship program. Over the years, her efforts related to diversity and inclusion have broadened to all constituencies and all aspects of diversity (not just gender) through her involvement on the leadership team for the AdvanceRIT NSF Advance Institutional Transformation project and her role as Faculty Associate to the Provost for Women Faculty. In this role, she launched and chaired the Council for Representation Engagement of Women Faculty (CREW).
