Biography

My teaching philosophy is based on an experiential approach to learning.  I am a strong believer in the principle of “active learning.”  When actively engaged in class activities, students are more likely to enjoy the learning process.  My pedagogy combines classroom discussion-style lectures, experiential learning through applied projects, meaningful service in the community, personal reflection, team-building and critical thinking skills.  I want my students to make connections between the academic foundations of marketing and practice.

My research explores the meaning of brands in a consumer’s everyday life.  My work is cultural, qualitative, and interpretive.  By understanding brands as symbolic forms of communication and interactivity, we can learn about conscious and unconscious attitudes, beliefs, and individual and group identities.
