Promoted to full professor in 2017, she previously spent 12 years in college financial administration (1995-2007), rising from Assistant Director to Director of Financial Services. As Dean, she leads academic strategy while maintaining active teaching responsibilities across the accounting curriculum. Educational Background: D.B.A. in Business Administration from Anderson University (2009) M.S. in Accounting from Grove City College (2002) B.A. in Economics from Grove City College (1988) Her research centers on Cost Accounting as a decision-making tool, with complementary expertise in Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Corporate Accounting, and Taxation.

Her pedagogical approach focuses on helping students understand how cost structures drive organizational choices in manufacturing and service environments, preparing them to serve meaningfully in diverse business contexts. Analysis of her 2017-2020 publications reveals concentrated contributions to accounting education infrastructure rather than traditional research articles. She has developed 15+ textbook supplements spanning Financial Accounting (plant assets, corporate accounting), Managerial Accounting (job costing), and Taxation, with 70% focused on adaptive learning systems and assessment design. This work demonstrates a strategic shift toward technology-enhanced pedagogy, particularly in core courses like Cost Accounting where she specializes, reflecting her commitment to modernizing accounting education through practical instructional tools. No scientific awards or research grants are documented in the provided materials. Her professional recognition stems from extensive educational contributions rather than competitive research funding. As an advisor, McFeaters urges students to 'embrace their calling to serve' through accounting, stressing preparation for professional challenges and integration of 'vibrant and hopeful faith' into workplace ethics. Her own career trajectory—from financial administration to academic leadership—models this philosophy, with her administrative role enabling faculty collaboration while maintaining classroom engagement. She particularly encourages accounting majors to view their education as foundational for understanding organizational storytelling through financial data. Though no formal research laboratories are mentioned, her pedagogical innovation occurs within the Department of Accounting & Finance through textbook development and curriculum design.
