Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at San Diego State University and a Research Affiliate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

My research is in empirical corporate finance, with a focus on labor and finance, diversity and discrimination in the workplace, corporate governance, and ESG.

I completed my Ph.D. in Finance at the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I hold a Master's in Finance from the University of Maryland (Robert H. Smith School of Business), and a B.S. in Finance and an M.B.A. from Kuwait University (College of Business).

Prior to graduate school, I worked in investments and in the oil & gas industry.
