Research Interests	My broad research interests are in emotions in the workplace, Person-Organization (P-O fit), Person-Job fit (P-J fit), and emotional demands-abilities fit (ED-A fit). Currently my research is focused on emotional job demands and employees’ abilities to manage and regulate their emotions and how this might influence their perceptions of job fit. I am also interested in the organizational and individual outcomes associated with employees’ perception of fit in terms of their emotional abilities and the emotional job demands.
Hobbies/Other Interests	I enjoy cooking, appreciating art, listening to music, shopping, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Pittsburgh Penguins
