I am a PhD candidate in Organizational Behavior and Theory at the Tepper School of Business and an Adjunct Professor at the Heinz College of Public Policy and Information Systems at Carnegie Mellon University. I will complete all requirements for the doctoral degree by May 2017.

My research integrates decision making, helping behavior, individual differences, and gender within organizations. My dissertation, which was awarded the Gerald R. Salancik Doctoral Dissertation Award, examines why people agree to perform favors and how their decisions influence individuals and organizations.

Prior to my doctoral work at Carnegie Mellon, I spent over 10 years serving clients in the consulting industry at Bain & Company and Accenture. During my tenure at Bain & Company, I led multiple strategy projects focusing on cost reduction, process improvement, new business development, and customer strategy. At Accenture, I delivered numerous technology design, development, and implementation projects. Her client experience spans the aerospace, communications, consumer products, financial services, government, healthcare, real estate, and retail industries.
