About Me: 

Professionally: I'm an interdisciplinary scientist passionate about food security, environmental justice, and health equity. I aim to create innovative solutions that help both people and the planet thrive, because what’s good for one should be good for both.

Personally: When I’m not working, I’m taking photos, exploring exhibitions, museums, and LA’s art scene, trying new recipes in the kitchen, or enjoying a good book. I live with my husband in sunny Los Angeles.

Human beings are members of a whole, in creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain, other members uneasy will remain.  ​​
If you have no sympathy for human pain, the name of human you cannot retain.
