About Me

I am a second-year Master of Public Health (MPH) student at Cornell University, concentrating on Food Systems and Health. I am passionate about community-based approaches that promote sustainable food systems and improve nutrition outcomes.

I discovered my interest in food systems and public health during an internship with the Rural Workers Association in Nicaragua, where I witnessed firsthand how agroecological practices can support community health and expand access to nutritious food. I am excited to apply my skills as a public health practitioner, working directly with communities to strengthen food systems and improve health.
