Her interdisciplinary approach to research focuses on the role of social cognition (e.g., attributions, perceptions, and identity) on dynamic and complex problem solving in the workplace, frequently in leadership or team contexts. Her research lab, Modern Work Lab, recruits and mentors undergraduate students at UNH who are interested in translating this research stream into workplace solutions, including recommendations for selection and assessment systems, leadership development, and workplace training programs. As an extension of this research, she serves as a Faculty Fellow at UNH's Prevention Innovations Research Center where she acts as a research partner & consultant on issues related to social cognition & workplace factors (e.g., culture) relevant for the prediction and prevention of sexual harassment & assault in the workplace. Her research has been published in the Leadership Quarterly, Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, Human Resource Management Review, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, and Computers in Human Behavior, among others.
Outside of her current academic role, she has served in numerous positions guiding, conducting, and implementing research-driven interventions, including as a project manager on grants and contracts funded through the National Science Foundation and a US defense contractor; as a research consultant for two state-level governmental agencies; and as an affiliate research partner on organizational and leadership development projects in the energy and technology sectors.
