I am a sociologist who is keenly interested in the changing nature of work, both academic and otherwise, and also in how we navigate work culture broadly and the pursuit of equity and belonging in contemporary work environments specifically. Like many, I made a major career shift during the pandemic, leaving a tenured Full Professorship, where I had also served for six years as a Department Chair at a small liberal arts college. I moved into private industry in 2020, where I’ve done Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Strategy work, Consumer and Workforce Research, and Learning & Development.
