    Profile

    I received my Bachelor of Science in Fashion Merchandising with a minor in General Business from Stephen F. Austin State University in December of 2013. I also graduated Summa Cum Laude and was a University Scholar. After graduating from Stephen F. Austin State University, I started my career at Neiman Marcus as a buying office coordinator before completing the Executive Development Program and was promoted as an Assistant Buyer. While working in the industry, I received my Master of Science in Merchandising from the University of North Texas in August of 2017. In June of 2017, I placed my full attention on graduate school and started my Ph.D. studies at Iowa State University. I will finish this year! In addition, I joined the faculty at the University of North Texas in August of 2017 and have been teaching for three years and in 2020 I joined the faculty at The New School. My research interests include merchandising, consumer experience, luxury retailing, consumer behavior, and retail marketing. Currently, I am researching retail formats like Nordstrom Local and investigating the secondary sneaker market (GOAT, StockX, etc.).
