  • She’s a pricing and marketing consultant (Pricing Strategy Associates).
  • She has a doctorate in marketing and wrote her dissertation on pricing new products.
  • She specializes in helping small and new businesses, although she has worked or consulted for some very big companies, including AARP, CBS, ABC, Playboy, and Food Network.
  • She’s taught pricing, marketing and entrepreneurship at a number of universities, including New York University and the Ancell School of Business at Western Connecticut State University. She’s now an associate professor of marketing at Lock Haven University.
