Martha Timberlake was selected by College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) Faculty Recognition Committee as CWI’s December Faculty of Distinction.
Timberlake was nominated by a colleague who appreciates the work she has done in establishing both a robust service learning component in the Psychology department and the CWI Connections Project, which allows students to showcase their work. As the chair of the Social and Human Relations Department, Timberlake has guided three new associate degrees through curriculum design and acted as a fantastic liaison for the Psychology department. She really listens to the input and ideas of her faculty, and acts as a facilitator to help them achieve their goals.
Timberlake grew up in Los Angeles, California and received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Southern California. She then went to the University of Utah and earned a masters and doctorate in Counseling Psychology. Timberlake enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters, as well as long walks, travel, and a variety of creative pursuits. Her goal as a teacher is to help students realize their goals through education, personal discovery, ingenuity, and effort.
Congratulations Martha on this well deserved honor.
