Take a few minutes to see how G Suite shapes her life.
What does an average workday look like for you?
Not average. My days look different - it depends on what tasks are at hand that day. I teach, I research, and I do service. Educational psychology is a really lovely mishmash of applied psychology. In the undergraduate program, we teach things like child and adolescent development or classroom assessment to people who want to be future teachers. And our graduate program is really diverse: we deal with people who want to be school or clinical child psychologists, school counsellors, people who are coming back to becoming specialists in special education, or teaching ESL. It's highly applied psychology.
If you were a Google app, which one would you be and why?
I would be a Google Form because I am always asking questions.
If you were introducing someone to G Suite for the first time, what tips would you give them?
You don't have to save. Just trust that your work is there and step back from that initial fear. I would also suggest to know what it is you want to do and then not worry about the rest of it. If you're trying to collaborate with someone, or write a paper, just give it a go. You're not going to break it. Whatever you need it to do, it can do.
