About
I'm a food systems planner, practitioner, and activist. I hold a PhD in Nutrition Intervention and Policy from UNC-Chapel Hill, and relish the opportunity to work across disciplines, social agendas, and geographies to build programs, policies, research, and connections that promote the health and wellbeing of communities. I have a particular passion for supporting schools’, students’, and families’ efforts to grow school food systems that support community wellbeing from farm to school to child.
I co-founded Food Insight Group (FIG) and Upstream Works Collaborative (UWC), and has served as school nutrition administrator in several North Carolina school districts.
