I earned my PhD and MBA from the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business in 2011. Broadly speaking, I conduct research at the intersection of marketing and consumer well-being. My work draws on research from marketing, psychology, economics, and sociology to solve real world problems consumers face. In recognition of my work, I received the American Marketing Association (AMA) Marketing and Society Special Interest Group (MASSIG) Early Career Award in 2019. My coauthors and I also received the Journal of Consumer Affairs Best Paper Award in 2021 for our work exploring the impact of omission bias and moral culpability on parents' vaccination plans for their children.

I am currently the Chair of the AMA Marketing and Society Special Interest Group (MASSIG) and an Associate Editor for the Consumer Behavior track of the Journal of Business Research. I am also on the Editorial Review Board (ERB) of the Journal of Public Policy and Marketing, the Journal of Consumer Affairs, and Appetite, and recently guest-edited a special issue on Marketing and Consumer Well-being in the journal Appetite (2021). I've previously served on the ERB for the Journal of Consumer Research from 2016-2018 and Journal of Marketing Research from 2020-2022.
