Bridging Research and Practice

I specialize in measuring food and water insecurity in low-income countries, working at the intersection of rigorous research and practical implementation.

With a PhD in food and resource economics and partnerships with 70+ nonprofits worldwide, I help organizations make evidence-based decisions that improve effectiveness and maximize impact for vulnerable populations.

My work combines quantitative research methods, field data collection, and practical program evaluation to answer critical questions about what works in development.
