My research interests lie at the intersection of political economy, social justice, and food, with an emphasis on understanding and addressing the root causes of food insecurity among low-income and marginalized groups in the United States. My dissertation research is focused on student food insecurity at UC Davis, where approximately 44% of students deal with food insecurity. As a graduate student, I have received funding support from the James Beard Foundation, Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, and the Gamma Theta Upsilon International Geographical Honor Society. I hold a B.A. in Geography from Bowling Green State University and an M.A. in Geography from Ohio University.
