A little ABOUT ME


Hi there! Thanks for visiting my corner of the internet! 

I’m Ella —

By day, I’m an organizational psychology professor on the tenure-track researching how to make the workplace better - especially for women and underrepresented groups. After working as a corporate recruiter for several years, I decided to pursue a PhD to combine my interest in research and teaching with my enthusiasm for productivity and wellness topics.

I’m a big believer in working smarter, not harder, and that you can’t be your most productive self without taking care of your mental, physical, and emotional well-being first, so you’ll see a lot of those topics floating around here! On the weekends, you can usually find me cozied up in a coffee shop or binge watching reality TV shows with my husband, who begrudgingly puts up with my Love Island addiction :) 

I'm excited to start this project and hope you'll enjoy hanging out with me!
