I am from Atlanta, GA and received my bachelor of arts from Auburn University in the Spring of 2018. My research interests are tailored towards individual and organizational success. This encompasses leadership development (individually and team wide), mindfulness, work stress, work-life balance, occupational health, and organizational commitment. I want to conduct research that can help individual’s lead happier, more efficient, and more productive work lives.

I am from Sparta, New Jersey, and received my B.S. in Psychology from Washington and Lee University in 2019. My research interests broadly include topics related to employee health and well-being. I am additionally interested in diversity and inclusion in the workplace. I ultimately want to contribute to creating workplace environments where all employees can thrive.

I am from Johns Creek, GA, and I received my B.S. from Auburn University in May of 2021. My research interests include the intersection of work and family, relationships at work (e.g., mentoring), and employee well-being. Overall, I am interested in how people can get the most out of their work and family lives and how organizations can help them achieve those goals.
