BACKGROUND
I am a PhD student in Organizational Behavior at UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School. My research interests include: gender equity focusing on the role of men in the conversation and how it ultimately benefits everyone; fairness and trust in organizations; and the intersection between work, life, and personal identity.
After earning my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame, I worked for almost a decade in the Oil & Gas industry across five countries. Looking to pivot, I returned to Notre Dame to earn my MBA from the Mendoza College of Business, where I discovered my passion for research which led me to academia and pursuing my PhD at UNC.
