Professional
Prior to pursuing my Ph.D., I spent 12 years working in marketing and management positions, most recently as the Senior Director of Marketing for the Texas Stars (AHL), where I oversaw the marketing, public relations, and game operations departments. My professional experience informs both my research and my teaching, and enabled me to build a strong network of industry connections.
