My research interests include brand transparency, circular economy, and food waste in healthcare. My Ph.D. research aimed to develop a consumer-based conceptualization of brand transparency, to understand how consumers subjectively evaluate whether brands are transparent about their product and service offerings and their ethical and sustainable policies and practices. I investigate how to engage consumers in evaluating brand transparency so they can make informed decisions that align with their values and how this may lead to positive and meaningful societal change. 

As a research fellow, I am involved in projects pertaining to circular economy transitions and food waste in healthcare.
