About.
We have many critical problems facing our world today. I aim to help not only theorize solutions to these but take action to make our most intractable problems soluble. My goal is to never solve problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Currently, I am a Researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre , Stockholm University. My work combines interdisciplinary approaches within resilience and sustainability science to inform food policies and support food systems sustainability transformations. A self-proclaimed Ecoalimentologist, ecoalimentology works to study the nexus of food, people, and planet, satisfying collective societal needs for health and wellbeing within ecological limits. As a postdoctoral researcher, I contributed to the Mistra Food Futures project on food systems transformation and models for sustainable re-design of the Swedish food system in a globalized context. At the University of Helsinki, I worked with the Sustainable niche for farmed animals in food systems investigating the intersections of agroecology, resource optimization, and eco-culturally sufficient diets. I completed my PhD in Interdisciplinary Environmental Sciences working with the Future Sustainable Food Systems research group at the University of Helsinki on the multidimensional impacts of future dietary shifts with novel/future foods. I graduated with a MSc in Integrated Studies in Land and Food Systems from the Public Health and Urban Nutrition lab in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Prior to my MSc studies I worked for Spark-Y: Youth Action Labs educating and empowering youth through sustainability and urban agriculture. Before that, I received BA degrees in Biology and Environmental Studies at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota.
