I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Wisconsin School of Business at UW-Madison. I previously served on the faculty at Southern Methodist University and earned my PhD in Finance at Rice University in 2018. 

My research interests are financial institutions, household finance, labor and finance, and corporate finance. My recent work studies financial institutions' interactions with households, and their influence on economic mobility in the United States.
