Professional Experience: |
Growing up on a diversified crop and livestock farm in Missouri provided me a lot of practical experience in agriculture and rural development.
My degree in agricultural journalism provided me a strong foundation in communication, allowing me to develop a variety of communication outputs specific to agricultural development, from toolkits and training of trainers manuals for NGO field staff to videos to share to donors.
A master's in international agricultural development allowed me to research the adoption and use of information communication technologies and hone my project management skills.
As a Leland International Hunger Fellow, I have gained in-depth experience with natural resource and governing common properties, simultaneously managing a team of 5 interns working on 3 disparate projects, and producing toolkits that translate development research into participatory decision-making tools.
