Welcome! I  have been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Management & Information Systems at Kent State University since Fall 2012. I received my Master’s degree in MIS, as well as my MBA, from the University of South Florida in 2003, and earned my Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of Georgia in 2009. Prior to coming to Kent State, I was an Assistant Professor in the School of Management at Bucknell University for four years. I currently teach the undergraduate Systems Analysis & Design course (MIS 34068) at KSU, and am the faculty advisor for MISA, the Kent State student organization for CIS majors My research focuses primarily on IS habits, resistance to new technology adoption, and the interplay between IS habits and organizational routines. I am currently listed among the top 100 IS researchers publishing in the AIS Senior Scholars Basket of 6 journals for the time period of 2009-2012 (representing the 4 years since defending my dissertation). Altogether, my work has been published in MIS Quarterly, European Journal of Information Systems, Journal of the AIS, Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce, and Communications of the ACM. I have also presented my research at the International Conference on Information Systems, Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, Academy of Management, and Association for Consumer Research conferences, and was a participant in the 2007 ICIS Doctoral Consortium. I am currently a member of the AIS Special Interest Group on Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT), and the ACM Special Interest Group on Management Information Systems (SIGMIS). I recently served as an associate editor and session chair for the “Global and Cultural Issues in IS” track at the 2012 International Conference on Information Systems. I was also honored with the 2012 Best Reviewer Award from Information Systems Research. I enjoy fossil collecting in my spare time, and have received a number of prestigious awards over the years for my fossil shell exhibits. I have assisted the Invertebrate Paleontology Division of the Florida Museum of Natural History as both a contractor and volunteer since 1996. To date, I have published two papers in the field of invertebrate paleontology, and have two Florida fossil mollusk species named after me (Attiliosa gretae and Opalia politesae).
