  I am a postdoctoral researcher--practitioner working full time at public sector agency and as a part-time adjunct professor of English and Communication based disciplines. In the public sector, I successfully translate research to practice culminating in results oriented leadership and program management of organizational initiatives linked to organizational goals, stakeholder relations, business improvement processes, and evaluating short and long-range effectiveness of human capital strategies and programs within the public sector. My research interests include exploring occupational culture, performance improvement, change management at the population level of the organizational ecology. In addition, I am currently exploring emerging qualitative and mixed methods research methodologies and data collection to include offline field environments. I have presented and discussed my research at the Academy of Human Resource Development International Research Conference in the Americas, Annual Ethnographic and Qualitative Research Conference, and Sirius XM Radio. I have also served as a peer reviewer for the Workplace Learning Track at the Academy of Human Resource Development International Research Conference in the Americas.
