I am a Research Scientist at the Robotics and AI Institute and an interdisciplinary scholar focused on worker voice and well-being. My mixed-methods research stream is focused on voice at multiple levels—through employees’ sharing of ideas and concerns, organizational voice channels and broader voice structures—and the implications of voice for both employees’ well-being, organizational outcomes and policies. 

My work brings together my previous professional experiences in policy, practice and research focused on promoting community well-being in Massachusetts as a Public Health Social Worker. I currently serve as a Commissioner on the Massachusetts Community Behavioral Health Promotion and Prevention Commission. 

I completed my  postdoctoral training at the Institute for Work and Employment Research at MIT Sloan School of Management. I received my Ph.D. in Social Policy from the Heller School of Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University, hold an MSW/MPH from Boston University and an AB in Anthropology & Psychology from Mount Holyoke College.
