She first joined the university as a Matriculation Teacher at the Centre for Foundation Studies (CFS), IIUM in 2010 and in 2015 she joined the Department of Psychology, IIUM as a Lecturer.
Her research area concerns with the evaluative standards of the personnel selection procedures ranging from issues related to psychometric properties i.e. the reliability, validity and utility of personnel selection methods to the non-psychometric properties, namely, job candidate perception and recruiter acceptance of methods used in recruitment and personnel selection process. She has researched the use of technology-mediated employment interview in recruitment and selection, and she plans to expand her research to other types of selection methods like personality test and computer adaptive testing. She also has a research interest in the area of scholarship of teaching and learning in psychology.
