Naomi is a third-year PhD student in the department of Management & Organizations at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. She investigates the self-presentation and expressions of organizations and the people within them. She is interested in how workplace display norms can either uphold or combat identity-based hierarchies–particularly with respect to how minoritized groups navigate and resist these norms. She also explores the self-presentation of firms, and the downstream consequences of the language they use to describe themselves.
She has published in the academic outlet Journal of Business and Psychology and given presentations at international conferences such as the Academy of Management (AOM), the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP), and the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP).
