As a scholar-practitioner, my work sits at the intersection of organizational inequality, systems change, inclusion, and belonging. I design and teach courses on inclusive leadership, systems thinking, global change leadership, and organizational design. My teaching is shaped by both academic training and professional experience in the social sector, where community-centered strategies and impact-driven practice have long informed my approach.

​

My research spans two interconnected domains. First, I study organizational inequality, particularly unjust forms of inequality that emerge in resource distribution, institutional processes, and interpersonal dynamics within formal organizations. Rather than solely documenting the presence of inequality, I focus on the processes through which organizations attempt to create change, whether successful or not. I begin with the premise that addressing inequality requires thoughtful integration into an organization’s core strategy, not a one-size-fits-all initiative or surface-level intervention.

​

Second, I am developing a line of inquiry that examines how leaders consider and address the impact of disruptive technologies, such as generative artificial intelligence, on organizational and field identity, long-term sustainability, and the ways people do their work. I focus on how leaders and managers can use technology as an amplifier rather than a replacer of human interaction and coordination, strengthening the relationships and shared practices that make meaningful work possible.

​

My research and teaching are grounded in personal experience and practice. I draw on years of collaboration with mission-driven organizations to build more equitable and participatory structures. I deeply value mutual learning across sectors and work to dissolve boundaries between scholarship and practice. I engage students and practitioners alike as co-creators of knowledge and am committed to mentorship that supports intellectual, professional, and community development.

​

Ultimately, I believe that advancing equity requires sustained engagement with both theory and practice, anchored in interdisciplinary insight, cultural and structural analysis, and relational awareness.
