As an experimentalist, I employ a mix of methods including on-line, lab, and field studies, as well as secondary data, to evaluate how consumers make financial and health related decisions. When pursuing research ideas, I draw inspiration from firm and consumer behaviors present in society, as well as my own personal experiences. For instance, over the past few years, consumers have demonstrated an increasing willingness to accrue more debt and agree to longer loan terms. In my earlier research, I demonstrate how financial institutions may be influencing these behaviors. Moreover, my recent community involvement has provided me opportunities to partner with financial institutions and non-profit agencies to conduct field studies to better understand the role of financial institutions in underrepresented consumer financial decision making. These institutions differ in the marketing problems they face, and offer varying industry insights, which I draw from to inform my research.
