My Research
You can access my publications via my Google Scholar profile- if you are unable to access an article you are interested in, please reach out to me for a copy!
If you are a prospective graduate student and are interested in working with me, please note that students are admitted to the interdisciplinary Organizational Science Ph.D. program at Charlotte through a centralized process, meaning that I do not recruit and admit students specifically to work in my lab.

Areas of Interest
1 / Workplace Aging
I’m interested in age-related trends as well as the diversity of the older worker experience.
The broad research question underlying most of my work is: How do people change across the lifespan, and how do those changes impact them at work?
2 / Lifelong Learning
How does age change the way we choose what we want to learn, and how we go about trying to learn? How do age-related individual differences interact to affect goal choice, strategy use, and self-regulation related to training?
3 / Job Search Across the Lifespan
How do older adults stay motivated through the often effortful, stressful, and potentially identity-threatening process of searching for a job?
