Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in Accounting at the Zicklin School of Business, Baruch College. I am on the 2026–27 academic job market and expect to complete my Ph.D. in 2027.

My research focuses on financial reporting and disclosure, with particular interests in how regulation, macroeconomic conditions, and emerging technologies shape firms’ information production and communication.

My job market paper, The Human Capital Behind Accounting Estimates: Evidence from CECL Adoption, finds that CECL adoption strains the risk-management employees responsible for implementing the standard. It also finds that the informativeness of credit-loss estimates becomes substantially more sensitive to their working conditions under CECL.

Prior to doctoral studies, I worked in assurance at EY Shanghai. My teaching at Baruch College has focused on introductory financial accounting.
