Hi! Welcome to my personal website!

I am an Assistant Professor of Accounting at the University of Texas at Dallas since 2020.

I conduct archival research in financial accounting, focusing on disclosure, transparency, and puzzles.

I am a CPA (Brazil, inactive). I teach Fundamentals of Accounting Analytics and Management Accounting.

Before joining UTD, I held research and teaching assistant positions at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at FUCAPE Business School (Brazil).

I am an Ad Hoc Reviewer for the Review of Financial Studies, The Accounting Review, Journal of Accounting Economics, Journal of Accounting Research, Review of Accounting Studies, Contemporary Accounting Research, Management Science, Production and Operations Management (POM), Accounting Horizons, and Journal of Banking & Finance. I also serve as a reviewer and discussant for multiple conferences in our field.

Besides researching and teaching, I enjoy spending time with family and being outdoors [playing soccer, hiking, and meditating].
