University of Michigan
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Accounting at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. I will be on the job market in the 2026-2027 academic year. I am broadly interested in banking and financial services. My current research examines the effects of bank strategy and regulation on bank disclosure.
In my job market paper, titled "Community Bank Deposit Strategy and Financial Reporting," I examine banks' risk appetite and provisioning behavior during periods of monetary tightening.
Prior to pursuing an academic career, I worked as a Senior Associate at PwC, providing audit assurance to asset management and banking clients.
I hold a Master's of Accountancy, a B.S. in Accounting, and a Minor in Economics from Brigham Young University.
