Welcome to Insights — my space for publishing ideas, research, and reflections on technical leadership and the human systems that make or break it.

Here you’ll find:

• Publications — peer-reviewed papers and conference presentations that form the foundation of The Emotional Architect.

• Fresh perspectives — monthly reflections that expand on themes from my mentoring, book development, and speaking work.

• Event recaps and updates — highlights from IEEE Aerospace Conference, WE Local, Women in Manufacturing, and other conferences where I share this framework in action.

I publish here to do what I ask of technical leaders: make the invisible visible. Human-systems failures often hide beneath the surface until they derail the mission. My goal is to surface the patterns, name them, and show you how to engineer better ones.
