My research interests revolve around issues of diversity and inclusion in service environments, particularly in examining the ways that service actors co-create value through performances of diverse identities. My research also focuses on the impacts that diversity in service interactions has on perceptions of service quality and customers' post-service responses, with an emphasis on improving actor wellbeing at both an organisation and personal level.
