My training is in Anthropology and Linguistics (Ph.D. UA, Anthropology and Linguistics Joint Program 1998). I have been at the University of Arizona in one capacity or other - most involving undergraduate teaching - since 1986, and have also taught at Pima Community College. In addition to my teaching commitments I serve on several University committees including Faculty Senate, University Hearing Board, the University-Wide General Education Committee, and others. I served for four years as Secretary of the Faculty of the University of Arizona, I am currently working to support technology development for Indigenous language communities, including undergraduate research opportunities in the areas of tech development, language reclamation and universal design for linguistics teaching and learning.
