About
I am a researcher in food policy, food systems, nutrition, equity and ethics as part of the Global Food Policy and Ethics program at Johns Hopkins University, led by Dr. Jessica Fanzo. I recently completed my PhD in Food Policy and Applied nutrition at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. I focus on food policy and economics related to poverty, nutrition, and welfare outcomes.
Prior to my PhD, I spent five years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as a program officer in agricultural development. My work there involved a wide range of issues including gender, food systems, nutrition, environment, data, policy research, evaluation, and measurement. I hold a Master of Public Administration and a Certificate in International Development from the Evans School of Public Policy & Governance at the University of Washington where I also conducted food, agriculture, and development policy research. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at McGill University.
