About Me

I am an associate professor of accounting at Loyola Marymount University (LMU). I received my Ph.D. in Accounting from the University of Oregon in 2015 and have been with LMU since then.

Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective at the intersection of accounting, management, and finance, my research examines how executive human capital, top management teams, and boards of directors shape corporate decision-making across different institutional contexts. I focus particularly on decisions under uncertainty, including corporate reporting and disclosure, tax planning, and green innovation. My work has been published in leading academic journals, including Journal of Management Accounting Research, Journal of Accounting and Public Policy, Accounting Horizons, and Journal of Organizational Behavior. In addition to academic research, I also translate my research insights to inform managerial decision-making and practice, including forthcoming work in California Management Review. 

I have extensive teaching experience at both the University of Oregon and LMU. My teaching focuses on management accounting with an emphasis on data analytics. At LMU, I developed the first data analytics courses for both the MSA program (Accounting Analytics for Decision Making, Spring 2020) and the undergraduate accounting program (Strategic & Managerial Analysis, Fall 2021), as well as a doctoral-level research seminar for the inaugural DBA program (Fall 2024).
