Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of Management at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business. Prior, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. I completed my Ph.D. at the Harvard Kennedy School.
My research investigates how social context shapes judgment and decision making. My primary line of research tests when and why observers positively evaluate error-prone decision makers. For example, recent papers have demonstrated that escalating commitment to failing courses of action or holding inconsistent risk preferences can boost one's reputation. In ongoing work, I aim to identify communication strategies leaders can use to maintain trust when avoiding such errors. Finally, I study disagreement over strongly-held attitudes (e.g., politics), especially mis-perceptions of conflict counterparts and interventions to overcome these mis-perceptions.
My CV is available here.
