In 2016, I was honored to receive the EMERGING SERVICE SCHOLAR AWARD from the Service Special Interest Group (SERVSIG) of the American Marketing Association (AMA). 

​

I received this award during the Awards Ceremony at the Frontiers in Service Conference (Bergen, Norway). I was not aware of being recipient upfront. So, it was a surprise. Happy beyond words that I could celebrate this moment of joy together with many of my academic friends, at my favorite service conference. Watch here a movie that my co-author and friend Tim Keiningham made. 

A sincere thank you to my academic family, co-authors, and friends that I met along my academic journey!

​

I dedicate this award to my family, who supported me, every single day... and encouraged me to spread my wings and fly in order to discover the academic world...
