Prior to joining the IRI, she was the Manager of Research Programs at the Agriculture and Food Security Center at the Earth Institute, where she collaborated with a multi-disciplinary team of researchers on a range of projects that aimed to mobilize science and technology to advance sustainable agricultural intensification, particularly among smallholder farmers in Africa. She has a Master’s Degree in Public Affairs from the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University.
