I
have completed all of my coursework and am working on the
research aspect of my degree at Baruch. While attending
classes, I completed my research assistantship with Nita Lutwak
for the first two years on research she was conducting on
shame and related phenomena. My summers were spent teaching,
something that I discovered I loved more than I had anticipated.
In my third year I was granted a teaching fellowship and
was presented with the challenge of teaching an auditorium-sized
class with 120 registered students. The classes I taught
at Baruch include Introduction to General Psychology, Introduction
to Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Abnormal Psychology
and Social Psychology.
My
applied experience includes an independent consultant assignment
with Sandra Hartog and Associates developing a selection test
for financial advisors. I also was instrumental in the development
of a new childcare organization, JALM Children’s Services,
by developing job descriptions, determining pay scales, interviewing
and selecting employees, etc. Another start-up that I was
fortunate to have worked with is the Good Help program with
the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, a non-for-profit employment
program that provided screening services for Chamber members.
I have also worked with the NYC Courts systems on analyzing
survey results on self-represented litigants.
A
direct result of my work with Nita Lutwak, my current research
interests lie in the area of emotions in organizations.
Specifically, I am interested in the role that the performance
appraisal plays in eliciting shame in employees. My research
advisor is Yochi Cohen-Charash and she is also interested
in emotions in organizations. Currently, her and I are focusing
on me completing my dissertation in a timely manner.
