My current interests are exploring and understanding the human experience in systems and culture, be they family, work, or community.
To this end, my research tends to focus on the human experiences of organizational culture, collective empathy, complex social systems, entrepreneurial thinking processes, leadership for sustainable change and social impact, and creativity in organizational problem-solving.
