I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior at Rutgers University’s School of Management and Labor Relations. My research examines how social relationships, emotions, and organizational practices shape employee experiences and workplace behavior. Broadly, I seek to understand how organizations can foster more inclusive and supportive workplaces while navigating the complex social dynamics that emerge both within and beyond the workplace.

My research focuses on three interconnected areas: employee interpersonal relationships and social networks, employee emotions, and inclusive human resource management. Across these areas, I investigate topics such as workplace relationships, ambivalent emotions, diversity and inclusion initiatives, disability inclusion, and the influence of broader societal changes on organizations. My dissertation explores how the Inclusive Revolution—a broad societal shift toward greater inclusion and equity—shapes employees’ collective organizational nostalgia and, ultimately, workplace behavior.
My work has been published in Group & Organization Management and appears in the Research Handbook on Social Exchange Theory. I have presented my research at the Academy of Management, the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, the Southern Management Association, and other national and international conferences.

In the classroom, I strive to create an engaging, evidence-based learning environment that connects management research with real organizational challenges.
