Research Discipline/Bio
For a combined 22 years, I've worked as a career counselor and leadership coach across industries and environments, including higher education, private practice and consulting, the private sector, nonprofits, government, and international organizations. Most recently, for over a decade, I've provided consulting to US federal government employees in both individual career development and team leadership and development. As a career services leader and clinically-trained Certified Career Counselor and Professional Certified Coach, I am particularly interested in several adult learning research areas: how professional coaches learn to ethically and effectively deliver trauma-informed career and leadership coaching; the efficacy of narrative career counseling and coaching with diverse and marginalized populations; impostor syndrome, internal dialogue, and cognitive behavioral coaching; power dynamics and ownership of time in adult learners; and embodied learning.
