When I was an undergraduate at Brooklyn College, I majored in psychology and minored mathematics. I became a mathematics teacher for the New York City Board of Education. I informally observed that the chaotic, and sometimes violent, circumstances of my school had a baleful effect on many of my teacher colleagues, particularly women teachers. These observations contributed to a future line of research, a line of research I would not have anticipated at the time I was teacher. While teaching in that troubled inner city school, I earned a master's degree, attending the New School for Social Research at night, after work. Eventually I left teaching to pursue a doctorate full-time at the CUNY Graduate Center. At the GC I combined developmental psychology with educational psychology and conducted research on children's mathematical cognition. About a year after I earned a doctorate, I obtained a research associate position at New York State Psychiatric Institution/Dept. of Psychiatry, Columbia University. Working with David Shaffer, I became involved in research on the impact of a neurological abnormality on psychopathology and attention in adolescents. Within two years I won a post-doctoral fellowship with the Psychiatric Epidemiology Training Program at Columbia. It was there that, under the influence of Bruce Dohrenwend and Bruce Link, I became interested in stress research. Their influence dovetailed with my informal observations of the stressors (e.g., violence and disrespect) that affected my teacher colleagues. 

When I moved to City College, I wrote grant applications to underwrite research on the impact of job stressors on the mental health and morale of teachers. As a result of my interest in job stress, I came to identify with the emerging field of occupational health psychology. I was the founding editor of the Newsletter of the Society for Occupational Health Psychology and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology. While at City College, I obtained appointments to the doctoral faculty in the Educational Psychology Program and the Psychology Program at the CUNY Graduate Center.

With my colleague Renzo Bianchi (the Norwegian University of Science and Technology), I became involved in research on burnout's overlap with depression. We have been collaborating since 2013.

In 2020, Renzo and I co-developed English and French versions of a measure of work-related depression called the Occupational Depression Inventory (ODI). With the help of collaborators from many other countries, we now have Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Ukrainian, Polish, German, Swedish, and Norwegian versions of the ODI. All versions have demonstrated excellent psychometric properties (e.g., reliability, validity, unidimensionality). Renzo and I also co-developed the Pandemic Anxiety Inventory (PAI). In collaboration with Tasmyn Prytherch and Mark Cropley (University of Surrey), Renzo and I found that the English version of the PAI has satisfactory psychometric properties (we have not yet studied translations of the PAI).

My colleague Joseph Mazzola (Meredith College) and I have written about qualitative research methods and have studied stress in the self-employed. I have also written on the topics of hierarchical linear modeling, school violence, and bullying. Springer published a book by I wrote with Prof. Chu-Hsiang Chang (Michigan State University) entitled Occupational Health Psychology: Work, Stress, and Health. 

I have an additional appointment in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the CUNY School of Public Health.

I published three short stories. In addition, I completed a memoir, yet unpublished, about growing up in a working-class family living in a New York City housing project. When not working, I enjoy reading, photography, softball, and hiking. I am also interested in cinema, and organized a film club at City College.

I am happily married and have two adult children and four precocious grandchildren.
