About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Information, Risk, and Operations Management at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. I am on the job market for 2023-2024.

My research focuses on information privacy, with a specific focus on how individuals reveal or conceal personal information on digital platforms (i.e., self-disclosure behavior). My research investigates two overarching questions: 1) how and why do people share or not share personal information in different technological contexts? 2) what are the effects of technological features on self-disclosure management?

• “Job Uncertainty and Self-Disclosure Behavior on Professional Social Media: Evidence from LinkedIn,” with Wen Wen and Sirkka L. Jarvenpaa
