I understand and leverage the dynamics involved in creating individual, group, and organizational change. I thrive as part of a team, collaborating to co-create robust solutions.

I hold a PhD in Organizational Behavior from Case Western Reserve University, a Masters of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania, and a BA in Psychology and Sociology from Bucknell University. I continue to pursue my passion for learning and education through teaching courses on leadership and group dynamics at the University of Pennsylvania.
