I'm a social psychologist specializing in developing and evaluating evidence-based interventions to promote equitable and inclusive organizations. Employing both quantitative and qualitative methods, my research examines the manifestation of microaggressions experienced by individuals occupying traditionally marginalized social identities and aims to prevent bias through active bystander approaches. A focus of my work is to understand the factors that influence bystander behavior in the context of subtle expressions of bias in the workplace, with the goal of informing evidence-based intervention programs for reducing bias. Additionally, my research involves the development, and the evaluation of workplace interventions designed to improve climate for women in STEM fields. In addition to my research, I have been involved in evaluating programs offered in community-based organizations that support disadvantaged communities.
In my spare time, I enjoy acrylic painting, listening to podcasts, hiking to scenic locations, and discovering hidden culinary gems.
