About Me

I study how individuals navigate emotional experiences together in the workplace, with a focus on the following topics:

1. Empathy and Compassion: I examine the barriers to empathy and compassion when responding to others’ suffering, and how to cultivate positive empathy in the workplace.

2. Making Sense of Negative Events Together: I examine how individuals help others make sense of difficult emotions and negative events at work and how these interpersonal interactions shape connection, well-being, and creativity.

3. Embodied Experiences: I study the role of the physical body in individuals’ experiences at work, including physiological responses to work-related stress and the unique physical experiences of women at work, such as pregnancy.
