My broad research area is the psychology of working. I want to know about the role that work plays in people's lives and how working can support or hinder people's physical, social, and psychological well-being. My recent work has focused on two main areas. The first is understanding what contextual factors help people obtain decent jobs. The second is the intersection of women's career development and mental health, particularly as it relates to reproductive autonomy, pregnancy, and early motherhood.
