Welcome!

I'm an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science and Criminal Justice at the University of South Alabama. I earned my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Public Administration and Policy at the University of Georgia in 2022.

As a public administration scholar, my broad research interests are public management and organizational theory and behavior. My current research activities investigate negative performance management; and the organizational-level challenges confronting U.S. federal agencies' diversity, equity, and inclusion issues.

My work has been published in public administration journals including the International Public Management Journal, Public Administration Review, and Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory.
