I have over 9 years of international corporate experience in Europe, Latin America and the US. My diverse academic background (chemistry and business) combined with the international business experience have allowed me not only to develop and deliver high quality academic instruction, but also such experience has shaped my research interests. Since joining Saint Anselm College in 2013, I mainly teach the following courses: International Business Management, Business in Developing and Emerging Markets, International Human Resource Management, and Introduction to Social Innovation.

My most recent research has been about the internationalization of Latin American family business groups and nascent entrepreneurship. I also have published research on economic integration (specifically the CAFTA region). In addition, I'm interested in the application of system dynamics modeling to international business, as well as exploring the impacts of international business on environmental sustainability.
