About

I am a PhD Candidate in Organizational Behavior at Harvard Business School.

I primarily use qualitative methods to understand how people and organizations navigate the deeply human experiences that shape work life. My research focuses on experiences such as loneliness, loss, attachment, and awe — phenomena that profoundly shape how people relate to who they are, what they do, and those around them at work.

Through my ethnographic dissertation, I am developing a collective theory of sustaining attachment in organizational life. I examine how organizations foster the relational conditions that allow people to continue offering stability, support, and care to others, particularly in contexts where work depends on emotional presence and enduring commitment.

My research has been published in academic journals, including Academy of Management Journal and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, and has received awards from the Academy of Management.

I also hold a Master of Arts in Sociology from Harvard University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology from Bucknell University.
