I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Wharton School, working with Matthew Bidwell. My research examines how occupations and employers shape careers, skills, and job tasks. In Perpetually in Dispute: Jurisdictional Overlap and Task Changes in Occupations (Revise & Resubmit at Organization Science), I show that when occupations begin to overlap in tasks, low-education occupations are more likely to lose tasks that support skill development and mobility compared to high-education occupations. In Brought In or Brought Up: The Influence of Manager Origin on Subordinate Career Outcomes, ongoing work with Matthew Bidwell, I study how internally promoted managers affect employee promotion and retention . I also co-authored the paper The Silicon Valley Syndrome (Published in Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice) with Olav Sorenson, which shows that regional tech booms can crowd out other industries and increase inequality.

I earned my Ph.D. in Management from Yale University in 2023, advised by Olav Sorenson. I also hold a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Seoul National University. Prior to graduate school, I worked as an analyst in Global Capital Markets at Deutsche Bank.

My research interests include Future of Work, Skills, Careers, Entrepreneurship, and Economic Inequality.

I am on the 2025-26 academic job market.
