BIO
Em joined the Leadership for the Ecozoic (L4E) community in August 2024 as a Sustainable Development, Policy, Economics and Governance doctoral student at the University of Vermont. As a L4E PhD Fellow, she hopes to continue (un)learning the field of sustainable development. Her interests include feminist political ecology (FPE), communities and economies of care, and both tacit and explicit forms of knowing. Working as a Research Assistant for Dr. Joe Ament, she is researching the intersection of FPE and monetary policy with an emphasis on understanding value theory from the perspective of reproductive labor. This endeavor builds upon her independent, collaborative and academic research on gender and development theories and applications including an analysis of intimate partner violence with a combined framework of FPE and feminist economics. She brings over a decade of cross-sector experience—from international nongovernmental organizations to community-based organizations—in program coordination, project management, business and nonprofit operations, strategic communications, and community outreach.
