I originally joined AIS to connect with a global community of scholars who share a passion for understanding the role of information systems in shaping individuals, organizations, and society. What has kept me involved is the sense of collegiality, the opportunity to give back to the profession, and the ability to stay engaged with the latest cutting-edge research. Whether through reviewing, mentoring, or participating in conferences, AIS provides an intellectual home that fosters meaningful academic and professional relationships.

One recent accomplishment I am proud of is developing an AI-powered interactive teaching case that brings generative AI into the business classroom in a hands-on, experiential way. The case allows students to engage with simulated stakeholders powered by custom AI assistants, helping them navigate complex digital transformation decisions. It has been rewarding to see this innovation enhance learning while also contributing to research on human-AI interaction in high-stakes business contexts.

The best advice I have received was to pursue work that feels meaningful and to remain grateful for the opportunity to do it (never take it for granted). Academia can be demanding, but remembering why we do this, the chance to shape ideas, support students, and contribute to something larger than ourselves, helps keep things in perspective. That advice has stayed with me and continues to guide how I approach research, teaching, service, parenting, and life..

I am a fast runner. My 100m record in high school was under 11 seconds.
