I am trained as a rural sociologist and have focused over my career on international development (primarily in grazing systems in West Africa), domestic agri-food systems (nationally but with most time spent in the Great Plains and the mid-Atlantic regions of the US), and public and community health in rural places. I currently co-own a small consulting firm, where we bring applied social science skills to work for the public sector (government and non-profits).
