Hi, I am an assistant professor at the School of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers University.

 

My research identifies factors that impact individuals’ career attainment and professional success. I explore strategic human capital elements that contribute to performance and career growth, particularly in hiring, job transitions, and promotions. Amid changes in the organization of work, I am particularly interested in considerations that acknowledge the personal lives of employees. Moreover, I am motivated to eliminate barriers that individuals face in advancing their careers. My research contributes to the literature on strategic human capital, labor market inequality, and workplace design. Methodologically, I use quantitative methods to pursue causality using field experiments and panel datasets. My primary approach is to obtain detailed measures of behavioral outcomes. To do so, I seek out creative avenues to generate data that allow for causal inference, including creating a company to randomly assign the remote work policy of new hires.

I hold a B.Sc. from The Wharton School, B.A. from The College of Arts and Sciences at University of Pennsylvania, and Ph.D from London Business School.
