About

notion image

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the management department at the University of Florida where my research and writing explore entrepreneurial strategy, leadership, and finance. I am entering my 5th and final year of my doctoral program at the Warrington College of Business and will be entering the 2022 - 2023 academic job market. Right now, I am working on my dissertation that explores how the prior affiliations of founders influences the behavior and performance of their startups.

My research and teaching focus on entrepreneurial strategy, leadership, and finance. I have presented my work at the Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference as well as the Industry Studies Association, Medici Summer School, Southern Management Association, Strategy Science, and Academy of Management conferences. In 2018, I also received my Masters in Business Administration from UF before pursuing my doctoral studies.

Prior to academia, I owned several small businesses in the hospitality industry. From 2010 to 2019 I co-owned an award winning family business called the Cedar House Inn in St. Augustine, Fl. In 2013, I launched an award-winning beachside smoothie business in Dania Beach, FL called The Fresh Squeeze. After years of significant growth I sold the business in 2018.

My teaching and speaking focus broadly on the topics of entrepreneurship and strategic management. In the classroom I combine research-driven lessons with experiential challenges and real-world case studies to create engaging sessions that prepares people to be more effective in their careers.

The passion for entrepreneurship that I bring to the classroom stems from my own entrepreneurial endeavors. By combining practical insights, driven by my ownership experience, with recent cutting-edge research on entrepreneurial strategy I hope to deliver as much value as possible for students in whatever business opportunities they hope to pursue.
