I teach and write about U.S. Food Policy. My research emphasizes food issues relevant to low-income Americans. I bring a passion for real-world topics to rigorous graduate level courses in statistics and food policy at Tufts University. The U.S. Food Policy blog offers a public interest perspective on contemporary debates.
