My research focuses on understanding the intersection of antibiotic resistance in agricultural settings and consumer behavior in Ontario. Specifically, I explore how the public perceives the use of antibiotics in meat and poultry production and how this understanding influences their purchasing decisions regarding antibiotic-free products.

The goal of my research is to raise awareness about the links between agricultural antibiotic practices, public health, and environmental sustainability.

Alongside my co-student investigator, Shreya Krishnammagaru, my main responsibilities are to review research papers, design and distribute surveys, and analyze data on antimicrobial use in agriculture. My future responsibilities will involve conducting interviews with Ontario farmers to gain insights into farming practices and antibiotic usage.
