Ciao! I am a PhD Candidate in the Organizations and Innovation group at the UCL School of Management, working with Sarah Harvey, Colin Fisher, and Clarissa Cortland. Before joining UCL, I earned an M.A. in International Commerce from Korea University (Seoul, South Korea) and a B.A. in Economics and Business from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (Venice, Italy).

I use qualitative methodologies to explore how workers move beyond the status quo, focusing on the uncertain and emotionally charged experiences that accompany novelty in the workplace. My research is primarily informed by my work experience in a managerial role in South Korea and personal creative endeavors, with a focus on contexts such as stand-up comedians, women in the comedy industry, migrant women, and museum curators. 

In my free time, I love exploring London’s incredible galleries and bookstores. I am also a film photographer, pottery maker, and a devoted fan of my dog, Yuki.
