I am seeking tenure-track assistant professor positions in organizational behavior at research-focused universities. My primary research stream explores pathways to diminishing intergroup inequality in the workplace, stemming from my broad interest in intergroup dynamics. Within this stream, my dissertation examines why and how individuals might act as agents toward greater equality, investigating what leads minorities to become trailblazers, rather than tokens. I have also studied how majority group members can become effective allies, the ripple effects of minority role models, and what motivates ingroup members to help outgroups. In my second stream of research, I seek to further knowledge of how collaboration and organizing can solve complex problems by investigating the multi-level, micro-dynamic processes of teams and groups. This includes research on how the presence of certain roles on a team can shift other members’ cognition and when creating a group that co-locates can lead to learning across functional silos. As an organizational behavior scholar, I focus on micro-level processes and outcomes, and sometimes investigate how they are affected by macro-level phenomena.
