I am an accounting doctoral candidate at Rice University. I was born in Brazil, where I received an undergraduate degree in business administration, and a master's degree in finance and accounting. I worked as an adjunct professor and a financial consultant before coming to the U.S. for my doctoral studies at Rice.
My research is focused on corporate governance, with an emphasis on proxy advisors, shareholder voting, conflicts of interest, and executive compensation.
