I am a young international development consultant with expertise in food security and agriculture, economic development, economic diplomacy, conflict studies and international trade. I possess a strong academic and practical background in development economics and international relations. I currently work for Fintrac. as the ‘Research & Analysis Advisor’ on the recently launched USAID Enabling Agriculture Trade (EAT) project, which supports US Government agencies by identifying and alleviating food security constraints to agricultural growth in countries and sub-regions where the US Government operates. I am based in Washington D.C., and hold both U.S. and Irish citizenship.
