BIO
My research explores the intersections of food environments, the commercial determinants of health, food policy, and the growing influence of online food retail platforms. I'm particularly interested in how corporate strategies shape what we eat, how we shop for food, and the broader public health implications of these shifts. My work spans everything from meal kits to delivery apps, and I'm passionate about making sense of this rapidly evolving landscape.
