Becky has been teaching Economics, Finance and Business Skills to diverse learner groups over 20 years--high school, graduate and undergraduate students. Her approach to content focuses on applications students are likely to interact with in their personal and work lives. This approach is informed by her experience starting several businesses and working in finance for 13 years. She earned a MBA in Business Economics and Public Policy from George Washington University and a BS Linguistics from Georgetown University. She began using digital technology in her courses in 2001 and utilizes the technology as a tool to help students experience the complexity of owning and managing businesses.

“I've used a variety of other educational platforms over my teaching career, and MindTap is by far the most intuitive of them. With MindTap, students can focus on learning content instead of trying to figure out how to use tools or navigate the platform. I often use the Aplia problems as an integral component of my lectures, so students can apply the concepts as soon as they learn them.”
