Current Position: Senior Research Fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute
Brief bio: I integrate approaches from population studies and human development to examine how changing social and economic contexts shape the health and educational trajectories of children and youth in developing countries. Currently I study the impact of large-scale food and nutrition programs and the intersection of women’s empowerment and health outcomes.
