I am currently an Assistant Professor of Management at Rutgers University in the School of Business in Camden, NJ. I received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Human Resource Studies from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR), with minor areas of focus in Organizational Behavior and Statistics. I also earned a Master's degree in Human Resources and Labor Relations (MHRLR) from Michigan State University. Before that, I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Kalamazoo College, with minor areas of focus in Spanish and Women's Studies.
My research explores three themes associated with the changing nature of work (e.g., due to technological advances, changing demography): (1) virtual work, (2) diversity, and (3) the work-family interface.
