Research

My research interests include leadership, leadership development, coaching, feedback, motivation, and application of positive psychology to the workplace. I strive to fulfill the I/O psychologist's ideal of being a true "scientist-practitioner" by being active in research, education, and practice. Prior to coming to W&L, I worked in Global Leadership Development at Procter and Gamble.
