I also was the recipient of the 2017 Petro-Canada Young Innovator Award in the Strategic Research Cluster "The Person and Society," and of the 2019 Dean’s Award for Distinguished Scholarship – Emerging Scholar. My research has been published in top marketing journals and I routinely presents and organizes symposiums at major international marketing conferences. In addition, I co-organized the 2022 SCP boutique conference "Paucity in the Midst of Opulence: How Scarcity, Luxury, and Inequality Impact Consumer Behavior."

I teach and coordinates Marketing Communications (MARK 453) and I coach a competition course (COMM 499) at the undergraduate level.
