Process improvement solution finder working to support organizations in problem solving using appreciative inquiry, research, analysis, and strategic planning to build on existing strengths while addressing gaps to improve outcomes. Tell me the outcome you desire and I want to help you find a way to make it happen.
I am particularly passionate about supporting workplace challenges that prevent employees being happy and productive, mental health/suicide prevention, and the future of technology and its' ability to reduce health disparities. I enjoy working on projects in digital health and/or organizational systems where I can apply translational psychological science and/or applied science principles, often in conjunction with business management theories and systems evaluation and development. Developed multiple leadership classes for SHRM PDC (CE) credit and am the co-author of the Well@Work Plan(r) method of strategically managing workplace wellbeing challenges using appreciative inquiry to focus on positively organized problem solving rather than the blame games, quick fix solutions, and stress that are often involved in trying to fix problems in organizations.
I also volunteer and advocate for those with mental health challenges and reducing adverse effects across the lifecycle, especially related to ADHD, suicide prevention.
Currently working on several projects that relate to improving mental health and upstream methods of preventing suicide using technology, as well as program evaluation research projects. Also completing my Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology with a focus on research and evaluation.
