I am an industrial–organizational (I–O) psychologist who is both a consultant and an educator. As a consultant, my goal is to help organizations increase effectiveness and efficiency while remaining true to their mission. My primary areas of focus include governance, leadership, strategy, and employee training and development. I have experience working with organizations ranging from Fortune 100s to community-based not-for-profits. Currently, I am an Associate Consultant with Nygren Consulting.

As an educator, I conduct research in areas that include employee recruitment, selection, and workforce diversity. I also teach courses in organizational psychology (e.g., psychology for business and industry, employee selection, groups and organizations, employee training and development), general psychology, management, and statistics at DePaul University.

I obtained my MA and PhD in I–O psychology from DePaul in 2015 and 2019, respectively. I obtained my MS in public service management from DePaul in 2011; I graduated from Clarke College (now Clarke University) with a BA in English and religious studies in 2004.
