            Associate Professor of Decision Sciences at MacEwan University, Triffo School of Business,



            Expertise and focus:                   I am an Associate Professor of Decision Sciences
                                                   at MacEwan University in Canada. My work is

                                                   interdisciplinary, drawing on management, decision
                                                   sciences, engineering, and applied analytics. My
                                                   research examines how people and organizations

                                                   make decisions, adapt to technological change,
                                                   and develop the capabilities needed to operate
                                                   effectively in complex environments.

                                                    
                                                   I have extensive experience in curriculum and
                                                   program development, research mentoring, and

                                                   academic leadership. I conceived and led the

                                                   also supervised and mentored students and early-
                                                   career researchers across institutional and

                                                   disciplinary boundaries. My current editorial
                                                   roles include Co-Editor-in-Chief of Leadership
                                                   & Organization Development Journal and Associate

                                                   My teaching spans statistics, business analytics,
                                                   data-driven decision-making, and computational
                                                   thinking. Across my research, teaching, and

                                                   editorial work, I am particularly interested in
                                                   helping scholars develop theoretically clear,
                                                   methodologically sound, and publishable research

                                                   from interdisciplinary or emerging research
                                                   problems.

            Previous mentoring experience:         I have mentored early-career academics, graduate

                                                   research design, and ethical questions in academic

                                                   work. My mentoring has also included more informal
