I currently serve as Professor of Management and Director of the School of Business Administration at Penn State Harrisburg.  As a dean-level role, I’m fortunate to work alongside exceptional faculty whose research and partnerships enrich our students’ learning and drive regional business innovation.  At our core, we’re an anchor institution, deeply connected to our region’s success. 

Prior to my present role, I was  the Director of Healthcare Management Programs in the David D. Reh School of Business at Clarkson University.  I worked at Clarkson for a decade, starting as an assistant professor on the line and achieving full professor by the time of my departure.  At Clarkson, I had the opportunity to teach organizational behavior, organizational theory, and strategy capstone classes and also had the honor of working with a dedicated group of colleagues as Senior Personnel on our $1M National Science Foundation (NSF) ADVANCE grant.  Our project, STEM LEAF (STEM Leadership, Equity, and Advancement for Faculty), aimed to significantly reduce implicit bias associated with gender and its intersections with other facets of identity and to support the development and the professional advancement of women STEM faculty.

Prior to Clarkson, I was the Director and Senior Research Associate at Temple University’s Nonprofit Evaluation Services and Training (NEST) program where I managed research, evaluation, programming, and capacity building exercises for partner organizations like the United Way, National Park Service, PA Department of Education, 2000px-Temple_T_logo.svgPA Department of Aging, and the US-Japan Foundation.  I had the privilege of co-creating the International Nonprofit Training and Leadership (INTL) certificate program designed to foster managerial skills in an increasingly global environment.  During this time, I was also an instructor for Temple University and for the Master of Organizational Leadership program through the College of Business at Alvernia University.

Headshot_2Outside of work, I am also a Consulting Partner with Vide Consulting Group, LLC.  I am a proud and passionate member of the Academy of Management (AOM; Health Care Management [HCM], Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion [DEI], and Organizational Behavior [OB] Divisions), and currently serve as the HCM Division Chair-elect.  I am a member of American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and was previously affiliated with AcademyHealth, the International Leadership Association (ILA), and Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA).

I attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania for my PhD, West Chester University for my MPH, and Ursinus College for my BS.
