I am currently a PhD student in Management concentrating in Organizational Behaviour. My supervisor is Dr. Julian Barling and my research focuses on workplace safety.

​

For my dissertation, I will be studying the consequences of workplace safety incidents, injuries, and fatalities. I am interested in understanding the impact these tragedies have on leaders (e.g., direct supervisors, managers) that have to deal with them and manage the aftermath. This has received no research attention, but I know from talking to managers and supervisors that have experienced this that it affects them in many ways. 

To start, I will be interviewing leaders that have gone through this. Broadly, this research will contribute to our understanding of the consequences of workplace tragedies. Specifically, this research will enable us to better support leaders in dealing with these tragedies.
