Shull has appeared on CNBC, ABC World News Tonight, The Discovery Channel, Cavuto and PBS’ Nightly Business report. An acclaimed and entertaining speaker for such companies as Bank of America and BNY Mellon, she also writes the provocative blog Psychological Capital and has contributed to Thompson Reuters, SFO Magazine, CME Group, and AllAboutAlpha. She is working on a book entitled Risky Business; It Ain’t What You Think.

Ms. Shull received her master’s degree in neuropsychoanalysis from The University of Chicago with a thesis entitled The Neurobiology of Freud’s Repetition Compulsion. She is a graduate of Harvard’s executive education program in “Investment Decisions and Behavioral Finance” and she currently belongs to The Societies for Neuroeconomics and for Social and Affective Neuroscience.
