Academic Interests
I am a socio-behavioral scientist whose research evaluates determinants of food and nutrition insecurity in vulnerable populations and seeks to generate evidence to guide interventions that address food security and nutritional support. In particular, my research program examines community-based strategies to understand real-world challenges underlying food security and develop effective, culturally appropriate solutions for underserved young survivors of cancer and college students.
