From Lived Experience to Empirical Evidence

Long before I began tracking workplace culture metrics as a graduate student in organizational and risk communication at Cornell and current doctoral scholar in leadership at LSU Shreveport, I witnessed the physical and organizational toll of toxic environments firsthand and as a wellness coach and critical incident stress expert for clients worldwide. I know what it means to operate in structures where burnout is treated as individual character flaws rather than an institutional breakdowns.

My journey from navigating spaces to serving as a two-time TEDx and encore SXSW speaker, print and broadcast journalist, and executive advisor is what encouraged me to look deeper than standard HR platitudes. That’s the reason I founded The Workplace Doc™ which draws on my original mixed-methods national study (N=186) that reframes “quiet quitting” as valuable data on employee coping.

I didn’t just survive embedded systemic issues in workplace cultures —I decoded them. Today, I combine that lived insight with solid organizational data to equip leadership teams with the precise diagnostic tools to interrupt burnout culture.
