More about me

My college experience began in an intensive philosophy program at Stanford University but a class simply titled “food as community” completely shifted my focus to agriculture, the environment, and why it feels so good to grow and share high quality, nutritious, culturally relevant foods. In college I started to explore environmentally focused media production; I minored in creative writing and produced podcast episodes with the Stanford Storytelling Project. I did my honors thesis on the challenges and opportunities for urban farming in the Bay Area and New York and proceeded to work at a startup developing sales and marketing software for farms looking to sell locally. In a sales role, I spent most of my days chatting with farmers about their operations, reasons for being, and stories about everything from meaningful farmers market encounters, to equipment accidents, feeding cows pasta during winter storms, and experimenting with regenerative practices.

I loved these stories. I wanted to help tell more of them.

I went back to school to focus on environmental storytelling and after finishing my Masters I started working with the Organic Agronomy Training Service to produce their podcast. Soon after, I began working with S2G Ventures to write for their blog and support their research projects. Most recently, I helped them relaunch their podcast, which I currently produce. I feel incredibly grateful to be able to work in this capacity: amplifying voices and highlighting solutions that could contribute to a more equitable, resilient, healthy and joyful future for people and the planet.

In my free time I try to get outside in any way possible—hiking, camping, biking, skiing, or floating on a beautiful lake. I am convinced I make the best breakfast burrito in Seattle and I spend way too much money on foraged mushrooms and tinned fish.
