She calls herself a "pracademic" because she has moved back and forth between the world of the practitioner and that of the academic.

She is a past president of the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management, former head of the public administration section of the American Political Science Association, and editor of the JOURNAL OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION RESEARCH AND THEORY from 2000 to 2005.
