I joined the University of Central Arkansas as an Assistant Professor of Family & Consumer Sciences in August 2018. Prior to joining UCA, I received my PhD in Consumer Behavior and Family Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. At UW-Madison, I also spent five years as Lab Manager of the Behavioral Research Insights Through Experiments (BRITE) Lab. As a researcher, I use experiments and survey research to examine questions in the area of consumer decision making. I am especially interested in consumer food choice, product marketing, local food, and health/nutrition interventions. I also have interests in financial decision making and education, particularly among college students. My work is designed to help address real-world problems, with the goal of providing useful information for individuals, producers, policy makers, retailers, and other stakeholders. At UCA I teach undergraduate Personal & Family Finance, and a 1 credit Undergraduate Research Workshop.
