I am currently a PhD student at Queen Mary, University of London where I am a member of the Fairtrade Research Group based at the Centre for Globalization Research. My own research is on producer participation and representation within Fairtrade, and I will be conducting my field research in East Africa. I previously worked as a Fairtrade practitioner with Fairtrade Canada and La Siembra/Camino, a Fairtrade worker co-op in Ottawa, Canada (as Communications Manager and member of the BoD). I possess an MA in International Affairs from NPSIA, Carleton University and a BCom from McGill University.
