I am a textile engineer, educator, and researcher with a background in textile engineering, consumer and design science, and apparel manufacturing. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Textile and Apparel Management at the University of Missouri.

My research interests focus on consumer behavior, sustainability, data- and AI-driven decision-making, digital marketing, and functional textiles. My work combines technical textile knowledge with consumer insights to explore sustainable solutions for the textile and apparel industry.

Alongside research, I bring several years of teaching and industry experience in textile and apparel manufacturing, supported by skills in SPSS, R, Python, and data analysis. I am passionate about connecting research, technology, and sustainability to create meaningful impact in the industry.
