Work with thought leaders and academic experts in Communication

Companies can greatly benefit from collaborating with an academic researcher whose expertise is in the field of Communication. Here are some ways in which companies can leverage their expertise: 1. Enhance Communication Strategies: Academic researchers can provide valuable insights and expertise to help companies improve their internal and external communication strategies. They can analyze communication processes, identify areas for improvement, and suggest effective communication techniques. 2. Understand Consumer Behavior: Communication researchers can conduct studies and analyze data to gain a deep understanding of consumer behavior. This knowledge can help companies develop targeted marketing campaigns, improve customer engagement, and enhance brand perception. 3. Develop Effective Marketing Campaigns: Academic researchers can assist companies in developing effective marketing campaigns by conducting research on consumer preferences, market trends, and communication channels. They can provide data-driven insights that can guide companies in creating impactful and persuasive marketing messages. 4. Conduct Market Research: Collaboration with communication researchers can enable companies to conduct market research and gather valuable data. Researchers can design surveys, conduct interviews, and analyze data to provide companies with actionable insights about their target audience, competitors, and market trends. 5.

Collaborating with them allows companies to stay updated with the latest trends, theories, and best practices in communication. This can help companies adapt to changing consumer preferences and market dynamics. 6.

About
My work has focused on how we can use data to support decisions to individualize monitoring to optimize human performance.  My work has demonstrated that a one size fits all approach is not the way to optimize performance in any setting.  My monitoring approach is one that utilizes a network physiology paradigm, which focuses on nonlinear dynamic interactions. In my athlete monitoring I focus on leveraging EMA and wearables; biological sampling and resistance exercise and conditioning prescribed to elicit a specific biological response.    Additionally, as a practitioner it is important to understand the limitations of athlete monitoring, which is another area research and practice has focused.  This is an important skillset that is currently being utilized by the in a project entitled “Integrating mHealth and Physical Function to Develop a Predictors of Injury and Optimal Performance Model in Special Military Operators “with the Rangers in the 3/75 Ranger Battalion.  This approach is one that quantifies factors such as dosage variables of training and lifestyle factors (sleep, nutrition, life stress).  Using this data, we are working on individualizing acute training sessions to optimize readiness and performance enhancement.   During my time at Syracuse University, I was the professor of record to teach the NSCA CSCS preparation course and lead the strength and conditioning program.  We were developing a master’s in exercise science and I was in the process of working on certification with the NSCA.  We also worked closely with athletics to secure strength and conditioning assistantships to allow for student funding.  I am currently on several NSCA committees, which include the Education and Women’s Committee (next certification cycle).    I am particularly adept at all phases of the athletic performance enhancement and these experiences have given me expertise in evidence based program design, linear and non-linear periodization, exercise endocrinology, resistance exercise physiology and acute and chronic training readiness and non-training parameters

About
I am a social-organizational psychologist by training, and have over 20 years of professional experience in higher education, organizational change and development, marketing, as well as diversity and inclusion in private and nonprofit sectors. As a researcher, I'm most curious about topics that intersect conflict management, diversity, equity, and inclusion at group and organizational levels. As a tertiary educator, I teach social science research designs and methods to help my students explore and address important conflict issues they care about. I also teach organizational conflict management systems to cultivate students' understanding and design of complex conflict management dynamics and processes in teams and organizations. Last but not least, I am actively involved in providing research-based advice and expertise to support organizations in advancing diversity, inclusion, and other pursuits of organizational excellence.
