Samantha is a PhD student in the Micro-OB PhD program at Harvard Business School. She received an A.B. in Psychology with minors in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science from Princeton University in 2019. She then spent two years working as a Predoctoral Behavioral Research Fellow at the Kellogg School of Management. Most notably, Samantha has conducted publication-grade, independent research in the fields of medicine, management, and psychology. Broadly, her research aims to increase both diversity and inclusivity in organizations so that members of traditionally marginalized groups may thrive—and organizations can harness diversity more effectively. She possesses a deep interest in advancing the workforce diversity literature and is presently investigating: (1) how prejudice and concerns about discrimination influence intergroup dynamics; (2) how race, gender, and SES shape our daily interactions; and (3) how DEI efforts can be more effectively implemented.
