She previously served as the inaugural director of the Center for Diversity Innovation and Distinguished Visiting Scholars Program at the University at Buffalo. The Center generates, translates, and diffuses empirical research on diversity, inclusion, and inequality, and utilizes that research to design and communicate best practices through educational materials, trainings, and consultations at UB and in the Buffalo community.

Her research, teaching, and public speaking focus on structures and processes that promote diversity and inclusion in organizations and which reduce bias. Her scholarly work has been published in top organizational studies journals and featured in The New York Times, Business Week, Fortune, The Economist, Fast Company, Boston Globe, Washington Post, and on NPR. Prior to earning her doctorate, she was a strategy consultant and senior manager for Cambridge Technology Group, a successful start-up that went public (as Cambridge Technology Partners) and continues to spawn many other entrepreneurial ventures in technology and consulting.
