My research focuses on gender and leadership, confidence, and goals – areas of inquiry in Organizational Behavior. I have used a multitude of designs and analyses (e.g., laboratory and field experiments, ANOVA, ANCOVA, Structural Equation Modeling, and Meta-Analysis).

My research has been reported in 16 publications (9 journal articles, 2 books, 2 online chapters, 3 AoM proceeding). My 2020 article in Journal of Applied Psychology that examined a female leadership advantage by linking women governors with less COVID-19 deaths early in the pandemic received a Responsible Research in Management Finalist Award from the Academy of Management Fellows. In 2024, I was invited to be a Contributing Editor on the board of Journal of Applied Psychology.

I have co-authored with leading researchers in the world, including the late Albert Bandura of Stanford and Edwin Locke and Gary Latham, the co-founders of goal-setting theory.
