Hello.

I am an occupational health psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of economic stressors and workplace safety, with the goal of understanding how workers experience economic challenges and how organizations can create safer workplaces. My work advances theory and informs practice in contexts marked by economic precarity, inequality, and technological change.

I am an Assistant Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate Center, where I teach and mentor undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students, as well as executive learners. I have coauthored over 35 peer-reviewed articles, including work published in leading journals in industrial-organizational psychology, occupational health psychology, and management.

I have extensive expertise in quantitative methods. My methodological work focuses on research design, scale development, and program evaluation in the social, behavioral, and health sciences. My research has been supported by U.S. and European grants, and I have served as a visiting professor at two Italian universities. Committed to research-to-practice translation, I collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to produce actionable insights for safer, fairer, and more resilient workplaces.

I’m originally from Italy and have lived in Springfield, Missouri; Manchester, UK; and Portland, Oregon, where I received my Ph.D. I now live in New York City.

In my free time, I love traveling widely and exploring the art, food, and everyday life of places around the world. A lifelong swimmer, I am as comfortable in the water as on land and have traded competitive swimming for more relaxed workouts and scuba diving. Back above sea level, I can usually be found wandering through one of the many NYC museums, catching a flight to a new city (or country), or seeking out a memorable restaurant.
