Research Interests: Strategic human capital, collaboration, promotion, motivation, purpose, sales.
I'm currently on the job market for the 2026–2027 academic cycle.
I am a PhD candidate in Strategy and Entrepreneurship at Washington University in St. Louis. I study how firms can overcome information asymmetries and make the most of their human capital by relying on signals from peer collaboration. I specialize in working with big data from sales departments to deliver novel insights with real implications.
I came to research after building a career in industry. I earned my MBA and spent years as a consultant, advising firms across dozens of engagements and learning how organizations actually function under pressure. That experience is why I care so much about bridging research and practice. I have lived both sides, and I believe the best research questions come from real problems in the field. I try to nurture ongoing discourse between the academic and practitioner communities so that insight flows in both directions.
Outside of academia, I enjoy adventure and endurance sports. I have completed five marathons, an Ironman, and a 3,500+ mile bicycle ride from Alaska to Mexico. I enjoy the peace I find in nature and the depth I find in human relationships. The world is an amazing place that needs to be both understood and experienced.
