Presently, and since 2017, Dr. Foster is an associate professor at Truett McConnell University where she teaches undergraduate and graduate-level courses in mathematics education, science education, curriculum and pedagogy in multicultural education and educational research. From 2017 to 2019, she served as Master’s Program Coordinator to the institution.
