I'm a 3rd year consumer behavior PhD student at Columbia Business School. I'm interested in answering the big questions of life, and helping others do so as well. What's going on in our minds? What makes us happy? How can we work hard and spend our money on the right things? Through my research I hope to help others to choose and consume better for their health and wellness. I'm also a National Board certifiied Health and Wellness Coach and hope to one day soon develop curriculum or programming in how to consume for holistic well-being.
