My research interests primarily include two separate but often overlapping research passions, namely (1) leadership and (2) employee health and well-being. I am fascinated by leadership behaviors and what predicts high and low quality leadership. I am also interested in women and leadership and the barriers women face in obtaining and maintaining leadership positions.
