About Me

Welcome! I am a PhD candidate at MIT Sloan in the Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management group. My research interests include the management of innovation and strategy. Specifically, I study shortcuts to innovation—what kind of shortcuts people take to innovate faster and what are the consequences of taking such shortcuts.

I am currently on the academic job market (2022-2023).
