About
I am an agricultural economist, law school graduate and researcher focused on legal and economic issues in the Agriculture, Resource & Food sectors. My goal is to be engaged in making our food more safer and our practices more equitable for consumers and farmers.
I started my career at an early age in the agribusiness sector, working for a family operation spanning from farming to processing, storing, and exporting food products. I then returned to school, pursuing graduate studies in agricultural economics as well as law, focusing on Agriculture and Food Law.
My research interest is fisheries laws and regulations as well as fisheries economics. In particular, I am interested in conducting both legal and economic analysis to issues in fisheries management with special focus on small-scale fisheries. I believe that such interdisciplinary research is much needed. I am fortunate to have published in several professional publications and I enjoy writing for several news agencies.
