Research

Thank you for your interest in my work! I am fascinated by how relationships with coworkers deeply inform how individuals define and express who they are at work. My research has examined questions such as how employees navigate their non-work identities at work; the relational consequences of personal/professional boundary-blurring with coworkers; and how employees reconstruct their professional identity in response to their changing work environment. I enjoy using a variety of methods to build and test theory (including interviews, surveys, and lab experiments).

My aim with this research is to uncover how organizations can better facilitate thriving and growth at work for their employees. To this end, I have partnered with various organizations to conduct this research. If you share my interest in the benefits of a more human and relational orientation to work, I'd love to connect with you.
