About

I am a PhD candidate in the School of Psychology at Georgia Tech studying industrial-organizational psychology. I am currently working on and seeking funding for my dissertation. My dream is to remain in academia as a professor, as I love my research and I love teaching! Currently my research interests include long-term career success, calling, and work-family health. My dissertation specifically is on calling across the lifespan. I am excited to continue to impact my students and instill in them a love of science and psychology.
