About Me
I earned my doctorate at the University of Texas at Austin. I enjoy teaching and engaging students in the classroom. My teaching interests lie in the areas of digital marketing, social media, marketing analytics, and international marketing. I am committed to providing a learning environment that is both exciting and rigorous, one that empowers students through experiential learning.
Before graduate study, I worked as an SEM manager at Mindshare, and key account director of international markets at iPinYou. As a digital marketing professional, I led my team to serve many multinational brands including Nestle, BP, Cisco, Caterpillar, and LG Electronics.
Research Interests
My research focuses on consumer behavior and digital marketing, with a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. I investigate sources that generate consumer happiness and improve consumer well-being. My works have been published in the Review of Marketing Research and presented at conferences including Academy of Marketing Science and American Academy of Advertising.
