As a first-generation college student, pursuing an academic career feels like a privilege to examine questions that excite me. It also imbues a personal responsibility to the principles of representation, diversity, and inclusion. I live this commitment to diversity and inclusive excellence in the following ways:

​

• A significant portion of my academic endeavor focuses on workplace diversity and inclusion by generating novel theoretical insights with important implications for organizations and for the practice of management.

• Through valuing and respecting diversity, my personal experiences informed a teaching philosophy that promotes individual authenticity, and a safe climate that benefits all students’ learning among different perspectives and backgrounds.

• I continue to advocate for change through my role within organizations such as the KPMG PhD Project. This organization helps promote a more diverse pipeline through mentoring and advocacy.
