Lecturer | Marketing
“I’m happy to join the Department of Marketing for many reasons. As a Clemson graduate, it feels great to be back “home” on campus. Prior to teaching, my career in advertising and marketing allowed me to work with clients in many industries. This affords me the opportunity to bring my business-world experience to the classroom which helps give students an idea of how the marketplace works. I love teaching, especially the Principles of Marketing course as this allows me to introduce the world of marketing to students in many different majors.“
