Bio & CV
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
I am interested in how innovation ecosystems and market institutions can be designed to sustain long-term social and ecological well-being. For my doctoral work, I examined these questions in the context of food systems in East Africa as the region grapples with the effects of climate change, uneven globalization, and rapid technology uptake. In addition to my research, I have worked as a consultant or advisor for various development organizations including the World Bank, FSD Kenya, and the Busara Center for Behavioral Economics.
I hold a PhD in Sociology from Princeton University and a BA in Economics and Sociology from UC Berkeley. Prior to graduate school, I worked a number of jobs including: at a research unit at ETH Zürich, on a dairy farm in the Argentine pampas, and for a studio photographer back home in California.
