Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of Management at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business. Prior, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. I completed my Ph.D. at the Harvard Kennedy School.
My research investigates judgment and decision making in organizational contexts. My primary line of research tests when and why leaders are penalized for making optimal choices. For example, my recent papers have demonstrated that de-escalating commitment from failing courses of action or holding consistent risk preferences can undermine a leader's reputation. In ongoing work, I aim to identify communication strategies leaders can use to maintain trust while avoiding such errors. In a related line of research, I study conflict over strongly-held attitudes (e.g., politics), especially mis-perceptions of conflict counterparts and interventions to overcome these mis-perceptions.
My CV is available here.
