Brief Bio
My research lies at the intersection of public management, organizational behavior and theory, and human resource management. Specifically, my research considers employee and managerial attitudes and behavior, and the external environment of public organizations. Part of this research has appeared in Public Administration Review, International Public Management Journal, American Review of Public Administration, Public Management Review, and International Review of Administrative Sciences. My current research examines the influence of organizational reputation and trust in government on the (perceived) performance of public organizations and attitudes of public employees.
In addition to my research, I have been teaching graduate-level courses on Diversity Management, Policy Analysis, and Qualitative Methods (PhD. in Public Policy seminar) at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. Prior to this, I taught Human Resource management to graduate and doctoral students at the Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Public Policy in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan (October-December 2019). In addition, I taught an undergraduate course on Organizational Behavior at the O'Neill School of Public Environmental Affairs (Indiana University) for three years (2016-2019). In teaching I strive to foster a climate and learning environment that is conducive to participation, student development, and genuine inquiry. To this end, my classes involve a combination of lectures, simulations, and innovative instructional technologies that allow students to get out of their comfort zones and allow them to effectively engage with one another and deepen their understanding of course concepts. I find that the ideal teaching environment is one where both teaching and research draw from one another. Thus, I strive to ensure that both research evidence and practical student experiences are used to deepen student learning.
I earned a PhD. in Public Affairs from the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University, with majors in Public Management, and Public Policy Analysis, and a doctoral minor in Organizational Behavior/Human Resource Management from the Kelley School of Business (also at Indiana University).
In addition to my doctoral degree, I received a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree from the University of Georgia, with concentrations in Public Management and Nonprofit Administration, and Bachelor of Science degrees in Economics and Statistics (with a Classical Humanities minor) from the University of Missouri.
When I'm not writing, working with students, or cleaning data, I can be found swimming/running, cooking, listening to community radio, or sometimes hosting my own radio show.
