Stanford SPARQ

I'm Executive Director and Senior Research Scientist at Stanford SPARQ, a behavioral science "do tank" at Stanford University that makes change by bringing researchers and practitioners together.

Research

I study and put into practice strategies to combat bias, reduce disparities, and drive culture change. I'm a culture and inequality researcher who partners with public and private sector leaders.
