I received my doctorate in business administration from Manchester Business School, Manchester, UK, in the field of Management Information Systems in early 2014, and joined WSU later that Fall. I am a professor of management information systems and entrepreneurship who specializes in improving organizational value chains through the integration of technology. As part of the Business Growth Mentor and Analysis Program, I supervise student teams who contribute to small businesses prosperity. I also teach and conduct research on the synthesis of IT in business.
