Her sales and marketing experience crossed both B2B and B2C practices. Before earning her Marquette University Ph.D. focused on Strategic Business Communication, Nelsen earned an Associate degree in Interior Design (Century College), a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Merchandising (St. Catherine University), an MBA (Arizona State University), and a graduate certificate in Integrated Marketing Communications (St. Catherine University). Nelsen served as the Marketing Educators' Association 2021-2022 President, and she is a Past-President of the American Marketing Association Phoenix Chapter. Her research focuses on sales and marketing pedagogy, business ethics, and corporate social responsibility. She creates a strong connection between the classroom and the workplace by bringing the business world to her classroom through speakers, work-world examples, role plays, and other hands-on learning opportunities. She is excited to be a part of preparing students for successful and rewarding careers.
I am currently an Assistant Professor of Marketing with an extensive industry background in both B2B and B2C sales experience. Previously, I taught sales at both the University of Kentucky and Clemson University, working to develop cutting edge undergraduate education to prepare students for a future career in sales. My research focuses on complex organizational buying and selling processes using both qualitative and quantitative exploration.
