About me

---

My research is grounded in the desire to uncover how people and organizations perpetuate inequality through interactions. My primary area of research lies in understanding the experiences of people of color in the workplace. Within this stream, I bridge and engage theory from management, sociology, and social psychology, such as status beliefs theory and expertise, with race and ethnicity literature to shed light on racialized organizational and interactional processes that shape the work lives of people of color.

In a second line of work, I examine the mechanisms that lead to the conditional inclusion of people in vulnerable situations (e.g., students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and undocumented entrepreneurs) in organizations and society.
