Research Interests
Biography
I am an Assistant Professor of Management at the Sawyer Business School at Suffolk University, where I teach graduate- and undergraduate-level courses in the areas of management, organizational behavior, and negotiation.
Through my research, I investigate how and why people respond to, initiate, and manage change in their work lives. I am also interested in how individuals can facilitate—or, equivalently, erode barriers to—positive change and inclusion within organizations. My research has appeared in journals such as Personnel Psychology, Human Relations, Management Decision, and Group & Organization Management.
I hold a Ph.D. in Business (Organizational Behavior) from The Graduate Center and Baruch College – The City University of New York (CUNY), an M.B.A. from the Zicklin School of Business, Baruch College, CUNY, an M.Phil. in Business from The Graduate Center, CUNY, and a B.Sc. in Economics and Marketing from the Stern School of Business, New York University.
My research is focused on two main areas: (1) the psychology of organizational change and (2) how feelings of inclusion and desirable workplace outcomes can be generated by managing interpersonal relationships at work. I employ quantitative methods (e.g., surveys, experiments, meta-analytic techniques) in the field, in the lab, and using archival datasets to examine various research questions.
