Prior to joining the faculty of UNH, Dr. Paulson completed her PhD in Business Administration (Statistics) at the University of Southern California before taking a position as an Assistant Professor of Business Analytics at the University of Maryland and later the Graduate Program Director for Southern Utah University's Master of Science in Business Analytics program. When she's not at UNH, you can usually find her at home watching sports or, ah, "researching probability" in Las Vegas.
