Professor Hoopes teaches COMM 1800 Foundations of Commerce at the McIntire School.

In addition to P-E fit, she has done research on topics related to communication, leadership, and teams.

She earned her PhD from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, her M.B.A. from Brigham Young University, and her B.S. in Accounting and Spanish from Brigham Young University.
