Diversity, equity, and inclusion, organizational justice, design to support global and cross-cultural workplace learning needs, learning analytics, learner experience design (LXD), the use of technology for workplace learning and performance improvement, mentoring systems, and the preparation of instructional designers. Also, I enjoy working on applied organizational research projects such as needs assessments, evaluations, and process design or redesign.
