She is currently an independent scholar with expertise in interdisciplinary, community-based, multi-level programs and policies that address social determinants of health and health equity for marginalized populations.

She brings cross-cutting perspectives to academia from multilateral, governmental, and industry work experiences. Her passion about addressing the social ecology of food systems, nutrition, and disease prevention stems from her early memories of health disparities that she witnessed as a child within her East and West Indian communities.

In addition to numerous papers presented at national and international conferences, he has an extensive publication record in the areas of food security, nutrition, health disparities and sustainable global development. Dr. Brenton's commitment to creating sustainable and resilient food systems to climate change through food justice and food sovereignty advocacy stems from his experience of working and growing up in rural farming communities in Iowa and Nebraska.
