I'm a researcher studying leadership, technology, and healthcare while pursuing my Ph.D. at Lesley University. My new book chapter 'Enacting Leadership: Catalyzing Entrepreneurial Success' will be published by Vernon Press in 2025. As part of my studies, I use several of Hannah Arendt's concepts in her seminal work 'The Human Condition' to shed light on modes of human existence, including The Private and The Public, as well as Vita Activa. Arendt's framework has served as profound inspiration as I investigate these concepts in the domains of entrepreneurship, business, and leadership, especially within healthcare. I am particularly interested in how leaders in the startup world traverse Arendt’s 'in-between' and how as entrepreneurs they engage in 'revelation of who' seeking to enact their own vision through 'speech and action' pursuing their dreams of success and of changing lives.
As part of my academic work, I also strive to improve the well-being of populations and shed light on the obstacles they face. As part of my last talk, I had the honor of virtually speaking at the Human Development and Capability Conference in Antwerp, Belgium. My talk, titled 'In Between Worlds' focused on the profound isolation experienced in liminal circumstances, where individuals lack the capability to express themselves and take action. The conference theme was 'Capabilities and Transformative Institutions' and I was grateful for the chance to contribute to such an esteemed event.
