I am an assistant professor of accounting at the University of Texas at Dallas, and I teach Introductory Financial Accounting. 

I am broadly interested in questions of local government, political economy, and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Before entering academia, I worked in investment banking at J.P. Morgan and at CODE Advisors. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and baking, indoor rowing, learning golf (slowly), and spending time with my family, friends, and two cats.
