Throughout her years in higher education, she has designed and taught elementary mathematics education methods courses to over 1,500 pre-service teachers and has mentored and taught over 50 mathematics education graduate students. Her research involves investigating the mathematical content knowledge of pre-service and in-service teachers, specifically with regards to local, state, and national standards and reform-based curricula.

Internationally, she has written mathematics and science education methods courses for early childhood teacher-preparation programs for eight institutions of higher learning in Liberia through an externally-funded project. Dr. Robichaux has also led a group of pre-service mathematics teachers on a Study Abroad to Canada. Among her many achievements, Dr. Robichaux is a Southeastern Conference Academic Leadership Development Program Fellow, a member of the David Carlisle Hull Faculty Leadership Class, and a past recipient of the MSU College of Education’s Clyde Muse Service Award and Lucinda Rose Outstanding Teaching Award. In 2010, she was awarded the Nicholls State University College of Education Alumna of the Year. Dr. Robichaux has authored or beencited in numerous presentations and publications and has had more than $7 million in external proposals funded. Prior to accepting a position in the College of Education Dean’s Office, she served as the faculty director of MSU’s Quality Enhancement Plan: Bulldog Experience which focused on Experiential Learning. She also served two terms as the Robert Holland Faculty Senate President, a position she held from July 2020 to June 2022. Prior to joining the faculty at MSU, Dr. Robichaux was a research fellow at Auburn University. Upon completion of her doctoral studies, she taught at Southeastern Louisiana University after serving as an elementary music and computer science teacher and as a middle school mathematics and science teacher for the Department of Defense on Andros Islands, Bahamas. Prior to her work with the Department of Defense, she was a secondary mathematics and computer science teacher in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Mathematics Education from Nicholls State University, a Master’s Degree in K-12 Mathematics Education from Louisiana State University, and a Master’s Degree in Applied Mathematics, as well as a Doctor of Philosophy in Secondary and Post-Secondary Mathematics Education from Auburn University. In her free time, she enjoys attending MSU sporting events, hiking, looking for mathematics in nature, and returning home to spend time with family in her hometown of Thibodaux, Louisiana.
