Background

About Kari McMullen

With several years of experience as a Marketing Analyst at State Farm, I collaborate with strategic business partners to develop research-based communications and marketing plans that align with the company's goals and vision. I leverage my skills in IT solutions, change management, and Six Sigma to optimize the design, distribution, and promotion of products and services that meet the needs and preferences of diverse consumers. As an Instructor at Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University, I share my knowledge and insights on global business environment, enterprise, and marketing with students and professionals who aspire to succeed in a challenging and dynamic world. I hold a MS in Integrated Marketing Communications from Northwestern University, an MBA from Bradley University, and soon a PhD in Educational Administration and Foundations from Illinois State University. I also have international experience, having worked with top-tier global companies while studying and teaching Brazil, Panama, and China. I am passionate about learning, teaching, and creating value through marketing.
