In a world where social inequities are rampant, I research how people understand their own social advantages and when they leverage these to support members of systemically marginalized groups. I study people's reactions to their own social privilege, showing that acknowledgement of privilege is both a necessary antecedent and potential barrier to allyship. I explore some of the emergent tensions associated with efforts to cultivate allyship in the workplace, such as feelings of psychological discomfort, concerns about performative allyship and authenticity, and reactions to paradoxical advice about what allies should do.
My work has been published in leading journals such as Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Applied Psychology, and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. I am a faculty fellow at the Institute for Ethical Leadership and Rutgers Center for Women in Business. For my research, I have been awarded a NYU Global Research Institute Fellowship, a Rutgers Early Career and Racial Equity (ECARE) fellowship, and a Responsible Research in Business and Management "Dare to Care" Dissertation Scholarship.
In addition to studying inequities, I am committed to reducing them in my community. I have fostered an inclusive environment in my undergraduate courses, receiving high evaluations in both an in-person and Zoom format. Previously, I served as the president of NYU Queer Grads and a mentor for the Stern Program for Undergraduate Research.
I started at Rutgers in Fall 2024. I completed my PhD at NYU Stern School of Business in 2024. I graduated from Northwestern University in 2015, studying psychology, legal studies, international studies, and marketing. I worked as a lab manager at the University of Kentucky and as a research coordinator at Stanford University before starting my PhD. Outside my research, I enjoy dancing (formerly competitive, currently socially), collecting books and vinyl, and exploring New Jersey with my puppy.
