Sara Estevez Cores

Biography
Sara is a PhD candidate in the Strategy and Entrepreneurship group at the UCL School of Management, interested in the future of work (or lack thereof). Her dissertation examines how flexible work arrangements, varying in their degree of distribution, shape collaboration practices, particularly coordination and learning. She also studies how physical and digital work environments, and the social norms governing them, drive organisational behaviour.
Before joining UCL, Sara worked as a leadership consultant at DDI, a research-focused consultancy, in the US and at Legal & General and Metro Bank in the UK. She is an experienced team and leadership facilitator and coach. She holds an MPhil in Organisational Psychology from the London School of Economics and Political Science, an MSc in Organisational Psychiatry and Psychology from King’s College London, and a B.A. in Politics and Psychology from Scripps College. Her research has been published in the Journals of Gerontology and the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology. She has received scholarships and grants totalling $125,000, including the LaCaixa Scholarship for Young Talent, the MSc Work Psychology Innovation Award, a United World Colleges Scholarship, and awards from the Davis Projects for Peace and the Strauss Foundation.
Outside of work, Sara is an enthusiastic surfer and is currently developing some research projects to justify spending more time outdoors.
