On joining the SC Johnson College of Business

“The SC Johnson College of Business represents an extraordinary opportunity to rethink twenty-first-century business education in a transdisciplinary way. I look forward immensely to collaborating with colleagues and students alike to bring creative problem solving and a human-centered approach to the curriculum.”

“I’ll be moving only a short walk from my current home in the College of Human Ecology. The university’s strengths are many: its foundation as a land-grant institution; its expertise in agriculture, design, and hospitality (to name a few); and its commitment to public engagement. These make it an inspiring place to teach and work.”

Fun facts

In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, hiking, and baking.
