Background

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Finance at Florida Atlantic University whose research examines how social capital and executive networks shape corporate financial decisions. My work focuses on debt markets, corporate governance, and climate-related innovation, with an emphasis on the human and relational drivers of capital allocation. My job market paper studies how CEO-board connections influence the cost of corporate debt.
