About Me
I am an Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations at New York University Shanghai. I hold a PhD in Organizational Behaviour and an MSc in Finance from London Business School, and a BSc in Business Administration from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.
As a scholar, my research focuses on mindsets and social relationships in organizations. My goal is to understand ways that empower individuals to navigate career challenges and foster diversity in the workplace. In one research stream, I study how mindsets shape employees’ ability to cope with employment uncertainty, employee experience, and career transitions. In another research stream, I investigate how multicultural experiences shape diversity in social networks and how network diversity, together with organizational practices, influences equity and inclusion in the workplace. I use a mixed-methods approach integrating field studies, experiments, archival data, and qualitative techniques. My work has received awards at global research competitions.
Prior to pursuing a career in academia, I spent seven years in the financial services and technology sectors across the United States, Europe, and Asia, where I advised Fortune 500 companies and led teams at a Silicon Valley startup through its IPO.
I have a deep passion for supporting education. In addition to my role as a university professor, I advise nonprofit organizations on strategy development, mentor women entrepreneurs in emerging markets, and design academic training programs for underprivileged students. I am particularly driven by the mission of preparing younger generations for the challenges of the future of work.
I enjoy improvising on the piano, skiing in the Alps, and building my photography portfolio.
