Broadly, I am interested in improving access to nutritious foods and reducing food insecurity in US populations. As a former high school educator, I am particularly interested in the role of nutrition and food insecurity in adolescent health and development. I acknowledge my privilege as a White woman in higher education and recognize the impact it has on my work and life. I strive to dismantle racism in my research through close partnerships with community members, collaborating with other anti-racist researchers, and engaging in a continuous learning process. My current projects evaluate the effect of social, environmental, and policy factors on dietary patterns and food-related behaviors.
