Profile
Sharon is passionate about integrating research across disciplines and bridging the space between research and development and specializes in interdisciplinary research in development in nutrition-sensitive fish agri-food systems in the Global South. Currently completing her PhD in the Anthropology and Geography, Planning, and International Development departments at the University of Amsterdam, her doctoral research focuses on fish trade networks in Indonesia from a food and nutrition security perspective. Her ethnographic fieldwork focused on following mobile fish traders in North Sumatera to better understand rural, low-income communities’ access to fish, as part of the WOTRO project Innovative Knowledge About Networks- Fish For Food (IKAN-F3) project.
Sharon is a resourceful, highly communicative and organized integrator and problem solver with 15+ years of progressive experience in international projects, relationship-building, and training facilitation across the Sahel/West Africa, Asia, North America, & Europe. She completed her master’s from IDS following 2 years’ service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in rural Senegal. Joining WorldFish (a CGIAR center) in 2012 she worked on projects financed by: USAID, the Asian Development Bank, GEF, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, GIZ, IDH, and more.
