Research
My research interests include combat decision-making under stress and predictors of leader adaptability in extreme contexts - designed to address the often neglected social and emotional needs of Soldiers prior to, during, and upon return from combat environments. I am currently working under Dr. Stephen Zaccaro on multiple military adaptability projects, and with Dr. Jose Cortina and Dr. Seth Kaplan on leader emotion management (EMOTE project) for the U.S. Army.
