Education:

Her research program centers on understanding everyday manifestations of courage in organizational contexts and leadership dynamics. She investigates how ordinary courageous behaviors manifest beyond heroic acts, and examines leadership development through the lens of identity formation, evidence-based program design, and psychological frameworks. Her work bridges organizational behavior with practical applications in leader development.

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a focus on psychological mechanisms in leader-follower relationships, critical analyses of leadership development efficacy, authenticity constructs in professional identity, and strategic responses to organizational uncertainty. These works consistently intersect psychology, management theory, and organizational behavior.
