Biography:
I joined Oakland University in 2020 as an Assistant Professor of Management. I hold a Ph.D. degree in Organizational Behavior from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a BS degree in Economics from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

Teaching interests: 
Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, Negotiations

Research interests: 
My research focuses on the impact of remote and hybrid work on employee well-being. I investigate how evolving work arrangements influence burnout, work–family conflict, gender dynamics, and the experiences of neurodivergent employees. A secondary line of my work explores how leadership practices intersect with these challenges, either reinforcing or mitigating workplace inequalities. Using a multi-method approach—including experiments, field studies, and surveys—I aim to advance theory that informs organizational policy and supports the development of practical strategies for creating healthier, more inclusive work environments.
