In 2009 she developed and taught the blended version of EDMA1721 Mathematics Appreciation, and followed in 2010 with the fully online version for the School of Education and the UWI Open Campus to teachers in various Caribbean islands. She has also taught the cross-faculty mathematics courses MATH1140 Basic Introductory Mathematics, MATH 2100 Abstract Algebra, and MATH2110 Linear Algebra at the School of Education. Her current research interests include teachers’ beliefs about their efficacy for teaching mathematics and how these beliefs are influenced by their involvement in professional development programmes, and the effect of integrating educational games in the teaching of mathematics on student learning. She was awarded best paper at the 2015 International Business & Education Conference in Maui, USA..
