About

I am a researcher with expertise in workplace justice. My work focuses on the ways gender, sexuality and race shape access to professional careers. With Dr. Alison Cook, I have pioneered research on the glass cliff and the impact of representation on organizational success. With a team of researchers at USU, I am leading a series of projects related to the ways trans and nonbinary workers navigate work organizations. With international collaborators, I am also exploring the ways remote work is reshaping mothers' careers. I have experience collaborating with employers, professional associations, non-profits and employee resource groups to advance fairness and equity in professional work organizations. I also partner with several organizations, including the Utah Center for Legal Inclusion, Women in Safety and the Women Lawyers of Utah, to advance the representation of historically underrepresented individuals in professional careers. I have published in top journals in sociology, management and human resources. My work has also been featured in *The New York Times*, *CNN*, the *Harvard Business Review*, *National Public Radio*, *PBS*, the *BBC* and *The Guardian*.
