Who I Am

I am a researcher from Minnesota who likes to think deeply about matters like the environment, health, and education. But my research is also firmly anchored by the practical knowledge I gained from over a decade of experience in Corporate America, where I worked with Commercial Analytics, Consumer Insight, Big Data, and Supply Chain divisions across the Pharmaceutical and Consumer Product Goods industries.

​

My academic training, as well as industry experience, informs the way I teach and do research. I care deeply about students and how well they do in class. I often use examples from my industry experience while teaching in class and working with data. Similarly, my research often has a policy angle to it because practical application to bring about change is very important to me.
