General Information

Biography

I am a marketing professional who has chosen an academic career. I completed my Ph.D. in 2018 from the University of Nebraska Lincoln in the area of consumer behavior. My courses impart practical insights and include a project component that is developed in partnership with a business. I endeavor to teach students skills that they can directly apply in their careers. My research investigates consumers' choices and decision-making processes in the context of (1) Payment Types, (2) Advertising, and (3) Students as a consumer segment.

Teaching Interests

I teach courses in the marketing area. I am currently teaching "Consumer Behavior," "Marketing Strategy," "Principles of Marketing," and "International Marketing." The Consumer Behavior, Principles of Marketing, and International Marketing courses are for undergraduates and the Marketing Strategy for MBA students. A unique aspect of all my courses is that they have a component of experiential learning. Students get exposed to the business community, deliver projects that are useful to businesses, and get connected to the marketing managers as they get feedback on their projects.

Research Interests

My research is focused on investigating consumer choices and decision-making processes in three areas:a) Influence of payment types on consumer purchase choices and decision-making processesb) Consumer perceptions of marketing stimuli delivered through multiple media such as commercials, websites, social media sites, brochures, billboards, etc.c) Students as a consumer segmentMy dissertation focused on investigating consumers' attitudes and motives for their choice and preferences for payment types. I conceptualized "Payment Timing" as a new dimension that explains the payment type preferences of consumers. Those who prefer to "pay now," use debit cards, and those who prefer to "pay later," use credit cards.I have developed a research technique that maps the process that consumers use to draw conclusions from an advertisement. Next, the technique maps the consumers' decision-making process and identifies the role the advertisement played in that decision. The data supplied by this research technique identifies the motivations, ability, and opportunity to consume the product advertised. The technique also identifies if the advertisement solved consumers' problems.My most recent project is investigating the effect Covid has had on student populations. We collect data on changes in students' lives, academics, careers, relationships, financial health, and emotional well-being.

Service Summary

At the University, I serve on the Faculty Development Council (FDC) since 2019 and the Academic Planning Council since 2022. I served the FDC as Chair for the year 2021-22 and also served on the Judicial Committee (2019-22). I am contributing to the Marketing and Entrepreneurship department by representing them on the library committee and developing a school contact program titled 'M&E Academy.' I served on the M&E hiring committee for an Assistant Professor in 2019, 2020, and 2021. I serve on the board of the 'Mountain Plains Business Association,' and am an advisory board member for 'Direct Effect,' a subsidiary of USPS.
