I am an Associate Professor of Public Management in the School of Government and Public Policy at the University of Arizona. My research focuses on public and nonprofit management, with particular interests in human resources management, employee turnover, organizational performance, leadership, and representative bureaucracy. Empirically, my work draws on survey and field experiments, cross-national panel data, and administrative records from public and nonprofit organizations, employing quasi-experimental designs, multilevel models, and spatial econometrics. My recent work extends these questions to public safety organizations, examining officer recruitment and retention, collaborative governance, and citizen participation through research funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, and the Arizona Board of Regents.

My work has appeared in journals such as the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Public Administration Review, Public Administration, Public Management Review, International Public Management Journal, Administration & Society, Review of Public Personnel Administration, Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, and Nonprofit Management & Leadership.

I serve as Editor of the Journal of Behavioral Public Administration and as Associate Editor of the International Review of Public Administration and the International Journal of Policy Studies. I also serve on the editorial boards of the American Review of Public Administration, International Public Management Journal, Review of Public Personnel Administration, and Journal of Policy Studies.
