Associate Professor
Education:
Ph.D. - Organizational Behavior Case Western Reserve University
Brief Biography:
My research explores the nature, integration, and impacts of mindfulness at work, and has been featured in leading outlets like Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management, and Harvard Business Review. My theoretical papers have established theoretical frameworks clarifying how mindfulness influences workplace functioning, and my empirical work examines how mindfulness may benefit and impair job performance, relationships, and communication at work through self-control. As a teacher, I help students learn to cultivate personal and collective thriving. I serve on the Editorial Review Board of the Journal of Organizational Behavior, and review for numerous other journals. In my moments of spare time, I enjoy meditating, cooking international cuisine, and enjoying the great outdoors.
