Prior to joining from Middlebury College, she taught at the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University; and at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. During her doctoral studies, she was a teaching assistant for various undergraduate economics courses at Cornell University’s Department of Economics, from where she holds two teaching awards.
