My name is Sienna Helena Parker. I am currently an incoming fourth-year Ph.D. Candidate in Technology Management at UC Santa Barbara's College of Engineering.
I research role transitions and the digitalization of work using a life course perspective. My research examines how individuals navigate the ongoing fluctuations in their work and life roles, especially as emerging technologies usher in new ways of working and organizing. The goal of my research is to improve how we organize work to meet the evolving needs and preferences of the contemporary workforce.

I received my BS in Learning and Organizational Change from Northwestern's School of Education and Social Policy in 2018. After graduation, I spent three years working in Silicon Valley, including working in customer success at LinkedIn and product and customer operations at a housing technology start-up called Villa Homes.
