Primary research areas

Pro­fes­sion­al Iden­tity and Oc­cu­pa­tion­al Emer­gence
I in­vest­ig­ate how new oc­cu­pa­tions craft le­git­im­acy and man­dates in nas­cent, un­reg­u­lated fields. My work ex­am­ines the role of em­bod­ied ex­per­i­ence and so­cial po­s­i­tion­ing in es­tab­lish­ing pro­fes­sion­al au­thor­ity and nav­ig­at­ing re­la­tion­ships.
Val­ues and Mar­ket­iz­a­tion
Draw­ing on pre­vi­ous work ex­per­i­ence as a polit­ic­al ad­visor in the uni­on move­ment, I ex­plore how mor­al pur­pose and com­mer­cial lo­gic in­ter­sect, es­pe­cially in the pro­fes­sion­al con­sult­ing mar­ket for DEI ser­vices.
Pro­fes­sion­al Eth­ics in Prac­tice
I study how prac­ti­tion­ers nav­ig­ate eth­ic­al di­lem­mas and cul­tiv­ate pro­fes­sion­al vir­tues through their daily work. My re­search fo­cuses on the situ­ated mor­al work re­quired in fields where eth­ic­al frame­works com­pete and pro­fes­sion­al norms are still emer­ging.

I ex­am­ine how val­ues and eth­ics are ne­go­ti­ated

My research focuses on how professionals navigate the tension between ethical commitments and commercial imperatives in emerging, minimally regulated fields. I am particularly interested in how moral claims are constructed, legitimized, and operationalized in practice, and how values become commodified when they enter the marketplace.

My current research extends into women's employment journeys and the translation of DEI standards across cultural and political contexts.
