Work with thought leaders and academic experts in organizational behavior

I am broadly interested in the factors that promote or diminish happiness and well-being. My research program explores how constant connectivity to the Internet impacts people’s relationships and well-being and how we can harness technology to improve well-being and promote positive behavioral change. I am a Vanier Scholar and a Rising Star of the Association for Psychological Science (APS). I have written for *The* *New York Times*, *The Conversation*, and *Psychology Today*, and my work has been covered by other prestigious publications such as *The* *Economist, BBC, NPR, Forbes, Fast Company, Time Magazine, The Wall Stree Journal, National Geographic,* and *The Washington Post*.

I am a social-organizational psychologist by training, and have over 20 years of professional experience in higher education, organizational change and development, marketing, as well as diversity and inclusion in private and nonprofit sectors. As a researcher, I'm most curious about topics that intersect conflict management, diversity, equity, and inclusion at group and organizational levels. As a tertiary educator, I teach social science research designs and methods to help my students explore and address important conflict issues they care about. I also teach organizational conflict management systems to cultivate students' understanding and design of complex conflict management dynamics and processes in teams and organizations. Last but not least, I am actively involved in providing research-based advice and expertise to support organizations in advancing diversity, inclusion, and other pursuits of organizational excellence.

I've spent over a decade researching, writing, consulting, and teaching about interpersonal relationships, human interactions, and people-problems in organizations. My early academic work centered on work stress, organizational politics, and dysfunctional leadership, and through the years I've broadened my focus to explore a wider range of human issues in the workplace. My passion for understanding and repairing interpersonal issues led to my current role as Director of the Tyson Center for Faith-Friendly Workplaces, a center dedicated to increasing religious tolerance, interfaith understanding, and acceptance of religious diversity in the workplace.
