My research explores how people with varying ways of thinking come together, the outcomes of these collaborations, and how organizations can either harness these differences for innovation or mitigate the tensions they create. I am particularly interested in leadership emergence within diverse teams, examining how identity-related factors influence who rises to leadership and how they are recognized. Beyond individual teams, I take a broader perspective by investigating multiteam systems and social networks to understand work group inclusion and the larger structural forces that impact team functioning.
