Her research integrates three streams: (1) AI trust dynamics, (2) religion's influence on consumer morality, and (3) awe-driven prosocial behaviors. Recent publications examine awe's role in environmental sustainability and AI's ethical implications in brand evaluations.
Conference presentations (2016-2024) highlight collaborations with scholars like Elizabeth Miller and Easwar Iyer, focusing on topics from virtual environment deception to emotion-driven consumer ethics. She teaches courses such as Marketing Decisions for Managers and Professional Selling and Sales Management.
