George Chavez, PhD - Social psychologist and organizational consultant

I'm a social psychologist and organizational consultant specializing in assessment, culture evaluation, and evidence-based workplace interventions.

With a PhD in Social Psychology, I bring rigorous research methods to practical organizational challenges. My work focuses on understanding how people think, feel, and behave in organizational contexts—and using those insights to create positive change.
