About Me

In summer 2024, I will start as an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. I am currently finishing my PhD in Organizational Behavior at Cornell University’s ILR School. I study morality at work, with a specific focus on how conflicts between people’s values impact their thoughts and behaviors at work. To date, most of my research has focused on loyalty, with the aim of disentangling a fundamental tension within loyalty: existing work demonstrates that loyalty benefits people and organizations alike, but a growing body of research highlights that loyalty can lead to negative outcomes including unethical behavior. I am also interested in, and conduct research on, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I grew-up in St. Paul, MN. I received my M.A. in Psychology from the University of Chicago, and a dual B.A. in Psychology and Philosophy from Bethel University. A few of my non-academic interests include reading fiction and philosophy, scuba diving, fitness, hiking, cooking, consuming and rating beer, and attempting to increase my wine knowledge.
