The Scholar
Gender politics, women in leadership, and career ecosystems — researched from the inside out.
My scholarly work lives at the intersection of political science, gender studies, and organizational behavior. I study how institutions are built, who gets to lead them, and what it actually takes to change them from within.
Ph.D. · U of MarylandFulbright ScholarIDB · StanfordAPSA Chair '2615 yrs ResearchThe questions I've
spent my career
asking.
My research begins with a deceptively simple question: why do some people get to lead institutions, and others don't? The answer is rarely about merit. It's almost always about systems — and systems can be changed.
Over 15 years I've conducted research across academic institutions, regional banks, international organizations, and policy bodies — studying gender politics, career development, and what it actually takes to build more equitable institutions.
That research doesn't stay in journals. It informs the way I coach, the way I consult, and the work I do leading career development efforts in organizations like the American Political Science Association.
