My research focused on how the confluence of different organizational factors, such as leadership, employee characteristics, culture, etc. interact to determine key organizational outcomes such as turnover and absenteeism. I have previously been published in journals such as Leadership Quarterly and the International Journal of Stress Management. After graduate school, I worked as a workforce analytics consultant at Mercer, LLC. During a typical project, I was heavily involved in all stages of the analytics process from start to finish including client communication, data-quality standards, statistical modeling decisions, and supervising other analysts. In particular, I regularly assisted clients with issues related to problematic turnover, workforce planning, pay equity, and other assorted organizational best practices. Currently, I am working on a project to improve American healthcare - HCOThrive (hcothrive.com). More specifically, my aim is to target and serve healthcare organizations (e.g., providers) as well as related stakeholders by providing analytical insights that directly lead to cost and quality improvement.
