About me
|
I am the Inaugural Racial Equity Postdoctoral Scholar at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, and am currently on the job market.
I received my PhD in December 2022 from the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. My research uncovers the promises and perils that low-status employees face when expressing themselves at work. Using laboratory, archival, and machine learning methodologies, I problematize theoretical assumptions about how low-status employees gain (or lose) status through expressing themselves. Naturally, some of my work is grounded in the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. However, I also examine self-expression (and people’s evaluations of their colleagues’ expressions) in other domains. For instance: some of my projects consider how low-status employees can call out bias during technology development, while another research stream investigates how low-status employees evaluate organizational voice in workplaces with a higher (vs. lower) prevalence of different moral priorities.
