I am food systems researcher with over 10 years of research experience and interdisciplinary training in agriculture, food systems, nutrition, public health, gender, and the environment. I am currently the senior research and evaluation manager at the Food Insight Group and an adjunct faculty member at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. My research focuses on connections between food systems, nutrition, and the environment. 

During my PhD and postdoc at Tufts University, I worked with Dr. William Masters on the Innovative Methods and Metrics for Nutrition Actions (IMMANA) project and the Food Prices for Nutrition project, and consulted with multiple international organizations. Previously, I worked as a research analyst for the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in Washington, DC, where I focused on connections between agriculture, nutrition, and gender and developing measures of women's empowerment. I also worked as a senior research analyst at the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP) in Washington, DC, where I focused on antimicrobial resistance.

I hold a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master of Science (MS) in agriculture, food, and the environment from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, a Master of Public Health (MPH) in epidemiology and biostatistics from the Tufts University School of Medicine, and a Bachelor of Arts (AB) in ecology and evolutionary biology from Princeton University.
