Biography
I am an assistant professor at the Quinlan School of Business at Loyola University Chicago, located in downtown Chicago. I completed my Ph.D. in accounting at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and which I concluded with a visit at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University in advance of the academic rookie market. I maintain an active CPA license in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
My research focuses on financial accounting issues, particularly those related to securities regulation/enforcement, financial reporting and disclosure, entrepreneurial finance, and corporate governance. My dissertation considers the role of information intermediation in the U.S. equity crowdfunding market.
I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses in financial accounting, managerial accounting, and basic mathematics. I have also instructed new hire assurance associates as well as professionals at a start-up incubator.
Prior to graduate studies, I was a full-time member of Fairfield University's accounting faculty, where I taught financial and managerial accounting. Before teaching, I was an auditor for PwC in Boston, where I worked on asset management and employee benefit plan engagements. In between Fairfield and PwC, I was a year-long volunteer in Ecuador.
Outside of academia, I enjoy getting outside, doing a good DIY household project, and finding an unbeatable sale.
