As a policy analyst at the Nutrition Policy Institute within the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of California (UCANR), I work as a project manager and researcher on various research projects, including an R01 NIH-funded clinical trial, the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), Universal School Meals (USM), and Food in Prison. I aim to effectively communicate policy-relevant research to federal, state, and community stakeholders through policy briefs, peer-reviewed manuscripts, and presentations.
