What are you looking forward to in your new role at Towson University?
I consider teaching as one of the most rewarding jobs on the planet. In my opinion, teaching is one of the few jobs in which you can have a direct impact on lives of many other people. In my new role as a professor at TU, I look forward to interacting with the brilliant students, getting to know them, learning from them, and helping them with learning new things in the domain of marketing.
What is something few people know about you that might be surprising to some?
I have played over 200 video games and watched over 150 TV shows.
How do you spend your free time?
I take photos, play video games, and watch TV shows.
What is your favorite TV show?
My all-time favorite show is Dexter. Followed by Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, Friends, and Hannibal.
If you could give your students one piece of advice from your life experiences, what would it be?
I strongly encourage my students to follow their true passions and to not be afraid of trying different things. It took me a while to figure out what it really is that I want to do with my life: I changed my major twice, immigrated, and tried to learn different things until I could finally figure out what I wanted to do.
