In 1995, she joined the faculty at University of Michigan with the joint appointment in the Department of Psychology in LSA and the Department of Management and Organizations in the Ross School of Business.

At the University of Michigan, she has taught a variety of courses for undergraduate and graduate students, including Introduction to Organizational Psychology, Human Behavior in Organizations, Research Methods, and Teaching Academy.
