  I focus on adult career identity and relationship (or orientation to) work. Through analyzing the career narratives of highly passionate adults in arts and education, I study how we relate to work in contemporary society. My work relates to vocational identity, calling, meaningful work, burnout, and has policy implications for individuals and employers seeking to retain talented and invested individuals. Methodologically, I specialize in qualitative methods (especially survey and interview creation, administration, and analysis). I am passionate about quality qualitative research. I know my way around regression analysis as well, but qualitative methodology and analysis is my passion. Anticipated dissertation completion: 2020 Show less
