My current research interests lie in the areas of applied game theory and experimental economics. Much of this current work is related to the research my co-authors and I complete while updating our textbook, Games of Strategy, which is going to 5th edition in 2019. Our most recent project probes the reasons why it may be "better to go first" in professional soccer penalty shoot-outs. I have also investigated the role of experience in play of the "p-beauty" game, and the role of communication and advice in a public goods contribution game. My previous research was almost exclusively in the area of international trade, the field in which I completed my dissertation. That earlier work focused initially on strategic trade theory and later on analyses of antidumping behavior worldwide.

I currently teach microeconomic theory at the intermediate and advanced levels as well as a course on basic game theory (Games of Strategy). The Games of Strategy course became an Ann E. Maurer Public Speaking Intensive course as of fall 2018. I have also taught International Trade Theory, Industrial Organization and microeconomic principles.

I am the mother of two almost adult children and I am a big sports fan (mostly baseball and soccer, but I am not too picky). I also enjoy traveling, particularly to New Zealand, my husband's home country.
