BIO
I am currently working on my dissertation and will be graduating in May 2020. My academic interests include the study of networks and network structure, management and leadership, and network culture.
The journey to graduate school was not a direct path for me as I pursued careers in the military, sponsored programs, and management for a major grocery store chain.
