Her research interests include firms’ incentives to use accounting accruals to manage their financial reports, particularly in the financial services industry, which stems from her experience as an officer and analyst for First RepublicBank (now part of Bank America).

She currently serves on the board of directors of the Graduate Management Admissions Council.
