I am an Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
My Approach to Ethical Systems:
My work focuses on the complexities inherent in close relationships at work, how individuals navigate the boundary between their personal and professional lives, and the impact social media is having on individuals and organizations. My approach to ethical systems centers primarily on relationships; that is, how we can connect meaningfully with others in a way that is beneficial while avoiding common pitfalls that may accompany close bonds with colleagues.
