About Me

I am an Assistant Professor of Accounting at Susquehanna University’s Sigmund Weis School of Business. My teaching focuses on Financial Accounting, Intermediate Accounting, and CPA exam review, where I strive to bridge theoretical concepts with real-world applications, equipping students with the knowledge and skills essential for professional success. My research interests include financial reporting quality, non-GAAP disclosure quality, ESG disclosure quality, audit pricing, and corporate governance. I have published in top-tier journals, such as the Journal of Corporate Finance, The British Accounting Review, Journal of Accounting and Public Policy, Journal of Business Ethics, Accounting and Finance, and The International Journal of Accounting. Beyond research and teaching, I am actively involved in academic service, contributing through peer reviews, committee work, and mentoring students as they navigate their academic and professional journeys. My goal is to foster a collaborative and intellectually stimulating environment that encourages critical thinking and professional growth.
