I am a PhD candidate in the Management & Organizations (M&O) department at Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management.  My research explores how social & interorganizational networks influence whether entrepreneurial ventures succeed or fail.  My work is informed by my time in consulting and venture capital and often has a contextual focus in the private equity markets to explore the role of financial intermediaries in these processes.

Before academia, I was a Venture for America fellow, worked in management consulting, and was a professional musician.
