I am an Assistant Professor of Management and Organization at the USC Marshall School of Business. I study how firms and other organizations respond strategically when social movements and structural interventions target inequality in evaluation and hiring and what happens in periods of retrenchment, when support is rolled back. My research shows these responses carry real consequences for who gains and who bears penalties, even among workers within the same demographic group. I use quantitative methods and large-scale archival data, mostly from creative and knowledge-intensive industries (film, television, science), where project-based work makes these practices unusually observable. Newer projects examine how exposure to tokenism accumulates across careers in U.S. television, and the gendered consequences of the 2025 NIH grant terminations.

I serve on the editorial review board of Organization Science. I received my PhD in Strategic Management from the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, and hold an M.S. in economics from the Paris School of Economics and an M.S. in engineering from Mines Paris — PSL.
