Bio
I am a researcher and development practitioner with a broad background in health and nutrition, sustainable agriculture, and community development. My work is focused on understanding and addressing the underlying causes of malnutrition and food insecurity in low-resource settings.
My current research analyzes how program and intrahousehold factors affect individual nutrition outcomes in the context of a social protection program and agriculture project in rural Bangladesh. More recently, I have also become involved in the design of an impact evaluation of a school-feeding program in Madagascar that incorporates edible insect protein.
