F Katelynn Boland
F Katelynn (Katie) Boland is a PhD student at Columbia Business School. She has a deep-seated passion for understanding experiences of loss both inside and outside of the workplace. Her research explores common loss experiences, the ways people discuss (or avoid discussing) loss, and how organizations can uniquely support employees navigating these experiences. Katie ultimately aims to show how addressing difficult topics, like loss, can foster positive interpersonal connections and strengthen organizational culture, promoting trust and well-being in both our personal and professional lives.
