I am a graduate student in the College of Information Sciences & Technology and a research assistant in the Enterprise Informatics and Integration Center at The Pennsylvania State University. My current Research revolves around sensemaking and decision-making in teams, organizations and communities in relation to supporting creativity & innovation, the use and design of collaborative technologies, and new methods of organization and management. Prior to begining my Ph.D., I spent a year at the Payloads Concept Center at the Boeing Company in Seattle working on research and advanced design concepts for human interfaces in cabin interiors and the overall future of air travel experiences for commercial aircraft. I am also currently the Rock Climbing Supervisor for the Adventure Recreation Program at Penn State, where I lead and guide rock climbing trips for students and community members. This summer (2008) I will be on an internship with Steelcase working in their Workspace Futures group.
