My research interests are broad, but I’m primarily interested in studying modern issues in leadership, including diversity and creative & elite performance, as well as performance management broadly. My Master’s thesis explores evaluations of transgender leaders and how those differ based on the leader’s performed/expressed gender and gendered leadership behaviors. I am also currently working on projects involving applications of neuroscience and innovative technologies (e.g., eye tracking) in research and practice, extreme teams, firgun (being happy for someone else’s success), and mindfulness as it relates to I-O psychology issues.
