Research Interests

Jennifer's recent research focuses on alternative work arrangements for professionals and their impacts on work/life balance and organizational effectiveness. Her dissertation examined the role psychological contract fulfillment plays in the relationship between work hours and physicians' experience of burnout and intentions to leave their job and the field of medicine. Jennifer has enjoyed applying her research findings as co-founder of Contemporary Career Consultants, a consulting group dedicated to assisting organizational leaders in various fields, including the high-tech and medical industries, in reaching their workplace flexibility goals. Prior to earning her Ph.D. Jennifer was a researcher at Harvard University's Center for Risk Analysis. She earned a M.E.S. in Environmental Management from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.
