My main research interests focus on applied social cognition. More specifically, I am interested in how individual personality traits and stereotypes influence organizational decision-making processes. I am also interested in a range of psychological issues as they relate to underrepresented groups, in particular Native Americans. In addition to my current faculty position, I have also taught at Oglala Lakota College and Elon University. Courses I teach include General Psychology, Research Methods, Social and I/O Psychology as well as graduate courses in Applied Research Design, Program Evaluation and Organizational Behavior.
