I am an Associate Professor in the department of Management and Organization in the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington. I teach Organizational Behavior courses in several MBA programs, as well as various executive education courses.

I worked for sixteen years full-time in the non-profit world before going back to graduate school to get my PhD at Michigan State University. My research is focused on how to enhance collaborative work (especially in groups and teams), social identities, and emotions and moods in the workplace.

I have served on the editorial boards of the Academy of Management Journal, the Journal of Applied Psychology, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. I am a member of the Academy of Management, the American Psychological Association, the Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology, and the Organizational Behavior Teaching Society.
