Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of Management at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business. Prior, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management and completed my Ph.D. at Harvard Kennedy School.
I use theory and methods from behavioral science to identify barriers to effective collaboration and to develop strategies to overcome them. My primary line of research studies conflict over decision processes. Here, I test when and why observers reinforce decision-making errors in organizations. In ongoing work, I aim to identify communication strategies leaders can use to maintain trust while avoiding such errors. In a related line of research, I study conflict over strongly-held attitudes (e.g., politics), especially mis-perceptions of counterparts and interventions to overcome these mis-perceptions. My CV is available here.
