Here's who I am & what I do

I integrate creativity, emotions, relationships and inclusion into my research, my teaching and my leadership.

​

As a researcher, I am deeply focused on understanding how complex emotions and relationships can enable leaders to create more inclusive environments.

​

As a teacher, I seek to create a classroom community characterized by creativity, connection and belonging. By creating a culture of love, I hope that students can step out of their comfort zone to learn through experiences and conversation. In 2020 I created the Belonging Fund to assist students. Read more about it here.

​

As a leader of a program, I am a relational disruptor who aims to operate with flexibility, compassion and intentionality. In 2023, I will represent UNC as one of 5 experienced leaders at the ACC-Academic Leadership Network . 

Before coming to UNC, I received my PhD and master’s degree in organizational behavior from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, a master’s degree in industrial and labor relations from Cornell University and a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Mumbai.
