Welcome, and thank you for visiting! I am an Associate Clinical Professor of Finance at the Smeal College of Business, Pennsylvania State University. As an empiricist, my research examines the intersection of labor and corporate finance, focusing on how firms respond to labor market dynamics and regulatory shocks - such as layoff announcements, restrictions on employee mobility, and cybersecurity breaches. A central theme of my work is how labor market frictions shape corporate policies and, in turn, affect innovation, investment, and long-term firm value.

In the classroom, I teach courses in investments and corporate finance, with an emphasis on analytical rigor and real-world application.
