My research focuses primarily on the global sociopsychological, policy, economic, and clinical impact of obesity and mental health on managing efficiencies for diagnosis, treatment, and cost, with implications for consumer behavior and health marketing. Overall, my philosophy is to contribute exemplar research to the peer-review, and provide students with the most fulfilling learning environment possible by rigorously integrating theory and practice based on my extensive experience as a teacher-scholar, and in the private and public sectors.
