She is studying Educational Technology and is presently teaching high school English at University Schools in Greeley, Colorado. Her dissertation title is, //International Female Doctoral Students’ Perceptions of the Challenges They Face in American Universities.// She is attempting to bring to light some of the barriers that international female doctoral students experience. In designing instruction, it is essential that the designer include a learner-analysis in order to make the learning process effective for international students. She hopes to inform international centers in the universities about the pressure that these students face and help them make it easier for them to adjust to a new university culture.
