I am an emergency nutrition specialist with a background in research, monitoring and evaluation, and program implementation, focusing largely on prevention, detection, and treatment of acute malnutrition in infants and young children. I graduated from Friedman in 2018 with an MS in Food and Nutrition Policies and Programs, specializing in multi-sectoral humanitarian response and nutrition program management. I also hold an MSc in International Development and Humanitarian Emergencies from the London School of Economics. While at Tufts, I was a research assistant for the Food Aid Quality Review (FAQR) and the Feinstein International Center, and I completed an internship with Action Against Hunger in northeast Nigeria. After graduation, I worked with the REACH Initiative in Iraq as a cash and livelihoods assessment officer and Action Against Hunger USA as a Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellow in South Sudan and the US through the Congressional Hunger Center, and later was a research project coordinator in Ethiopia on a study to improve acute malnutrition treatment. I am now working with the International Rescue Committee as a Nutrition MEAL (Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning) Advisor.
