Embarrassment to the community. Only accolades she gets are for her research behind a screen. Sucks in every other category. Keep typing up those research papers Marni!

It’s so funny when you see the poly ratings nice comment of her pop up first when you search her name. Almost like that was a fabricated set up from her end to make sure the negative comments are pushed down in the search, hope students can reach this page! lol - weird how it doesn’t even load and just shows a preview of a nice comment. All set up. LOL

She just sucks. You’ll see. I remember this time we had a African American speaker come in who was part of the faculty department I forgot what, but he was talking about his racial experiences on campus with other students around and she would butt in every 5 minutes invalidating that those things happen on campus and that it just happened to him. I remember telling her please just let him talk. She’s just so rude and not in touch with reality at all.

So terrible. She’s the most sarcastic human of all time, fake nice, fake proud to hear her students are doing well. Horrible representation of the EIM department. Should be fired.

Horrible and so mean? Embarrassing for the department of EIM having such amazing Professors like Jenn and Amber and keeping someone like this here. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT HER TEACHING - Would love the student affairs and academic affairs to pop in and see how she treats students.

She is condescending, shows blatant favoritism, and is unsympathetic to students' struggles, especially students of color. Her mean-spirited sarcasm creates a toxic environment. It's disappointing she's part of the "Learn by Doing" EIM Department. Many students share this sentiment.
