I am a Ph.D. student entering my fourth year of study at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. I am serving as a graduate research assistant on the INSITE grant, a four-year National Science Foundation study designed to increase the number of women and minorities in the computer sciences. This past summer I interned at ICF International, a consulting firm in Fairfax, Virginia, and I am currently preparing for my Ph.D. candidacy exams in January.
I graduated summa cum laude from Utah State University with a Bachelor's of science degree in psychology. I subsequently worked as a child psychosocial rehabilitation worker in Idaho Falls, Idaho before entering graduate school.
Overall I am interested in the experience of the individual worker within an organization. To this end I have done work in leader-member exchange and full-range leadership theories. I am now using multi-level models to better understand leader influence on work-family conflict and job stress.
Please feel free to email me to talk about research, I-O psychology, or life at ODU.
