About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology at Cornell University.

My research examines how organizations are shaped by opportunities and constraints in their environment, including interorganizational networks and the broader institutional environment. My work has been published in Socio-Economic Review and Sociological Science. I have a paper receiving “revise and resubmit” at the Academy of Management Journal, and two papers under review at Administrative Science Quarterly and Organization Science.

My research has won a number of awards, including the Best Paper Award for the Social Responsibility Division from the 2019 Administrative Sciences Association of Canada, an Early Career Workshop Award from Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics, and Robert B. McGinnis Paper Award from Cornell University. I have also received the Jeffrey S. Lehman Fund for Scholarly Exchange with China along with the East Asia Program Fellowship from Cornell University, and the ICPSR Clifford C. Clogg Scholarship from the University of Michigan.
