Professor Gray's research portfolio spans marketing strategy, personal branding, and the scholarship of teaching and learning, with specialized focus on golf's role in business networking. Her current investigations examine how golf participation shapes career trajectories for women and minorities, analyzing intersectional dynamics in professional branding. She integrates these research strands into experiential education through international programming.
She directs the innovative Scotland-based study abroad course 'Selling on the Green' (BIS342), launched in May 2018, which transforms golf courses into live business laboratories for examining trust-building and relationship capital. This program exemplifies her approach to connecting theoretical frameworks with real-world networking scenarios in global contexts.
