My research interests revolve around the relationship between paid work and other aspects of our lives, like caregiving and self-care. I am particularly interested in exploring healthier ways of approaching work and how organizations and public policies can promote just and equitable workplaces. In particular, I focus on diversity, inclusion, and belonging, as well as the adoption of ethics of care as a moral framework for human resource development. I like to examine these topics from an organizational development perspective. I have over 20 years of experience in the fields of Organization Development and Human Resources, having worked as an HR/OD manager, an OD consultant, and leading my own small consulting business. I am also a Professional Certified Coach (ICF-PCC) and a Certified Conflict Mediator.
