• About

    I completed my Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology at the University at Albany, State University of New York in 2019. Following a one-year appointment as a Lecturer of Management in the School of Business and Economics at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, I accepted an offer in 2020 to join the Department of Psychological Science at Missouri University of Science and Technology. My primary areas of research are in the following domains:

    • Adjustment and socialization of organizational newcomers
    • Goal setting and motivation in work and achievement settings
    • Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
