About Me
I'm Assistant Professor of Marketing at Chapman University's Argyros School of Business and Economics. I received my PhD in Marketing from UCLA Anderson in 2017. My research addresses issues in consumer psychology and behavior at the intersection of material and experiential consumption. Prior to academia, I was a senior manager at a leading marketing consultancy working with major clients including Fortune 500 companies. I also have an MA in East Asian Studies from UCLA as a Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship recipient and a BA in Economics with Highest Distinction from UC Berkeley. Go Bears!
