Janet is a master’s student, studying the inverse relationship between farm size and farm productivity. Her focus is on Madagascar and she is using soil quality data as a possible explanation for the presence of the relationship. Janet’s committee chair is Dr. Loren Tauer, a professor in AEM (http://aem.cornell.edu/profiles/tauer.htm), and her second committee member is Dr. Chris Barrett.
Janet is also very interested in environmental development, particularly
in Africa. She has received her M.P.S. in Natural Resources from Cornell University.
Outside of her academic interests, Janet is an avid reader and enjoys dabbling
in the kitchen.
