Background

I joined the faculty in 2024 after spending three years as the J. Thomas Hurvis Assistant Professor of Organizational Psychology and Collaboration at Lawrence University. Prior to that I earned my B.S. in Psychology at Davidson College and M.A. and Ph.D in Psychological Sciences from Rice University.

In am an industrial-organizational (I/O) psychologist; I study psychological phenomena within the context of organizations. I conduct research with the purpose of understanding and improving the lives and workplace experiences of individuals in organizations.

My research focuses on various facets of identity, diversity, and inclusion in organizations. I seek to better understand 1) the myriad experiences of individuals in organizations across different identities (e.g. gender, age, race) and contexts (e.g. at work, at home) and 2) how both individuals and organizations can promote more equitable experiences for all members of organizations.

I teach Research Design & Statistics 2 (PSY 300), Research Methods in I/O Psychology (PSY 316), and an Advanced Seminar in I/O Psychology (PSY 359).
