Ph.D. Candidate
I am involved with action research through Cornell’s Division of Nutrition Sciences (DNS) where we facilitate collaborative approaches to designing, implementing, and evaluating national food and nutrition programs. In 2007 I served as the Mainstreaming Nutrition Initiative field coordinator in Bolivia, partnering with the government’s Zero Malnutrition Program. I documented the challenges of establishing a multi-sectoral food and nutrition policy at national, regional, and local levels. Currently, I’m part of the Micronutrient Tool Project. The project is focused on designing a process that involves donors, health administrators, and local staff in planning nutrition interventions that are contextually appropriate, based on systems thinking, and focused on the hardest to reach populations who are at greatest risk of malnutrition.
