About Carmen N. Benson
With over 16 years of experience, I lead initiatives at Tetra Tech to advance sustainable food security and resilient agricultural systems. At the intersection of international development and education, I have facilitated impactful learning experiences through program evaluation courses during my tenure as a lecturer at Texas A&M University. My efforts emphasize participatory planning and evidence-based approaches to empower communities and build local capacity. Dedicated to collaborative problem-solving, I strive to create pathways for partnerships that prioritize innovation, inclusivity, and long-term systemic change.
