- St. Michael's College, 2019
BIO
I graduated from Saint Michael's College in 2019 with degrees in anthropology and environmental studies. After graduation, my partner and I decided to make Vermont our home, and we spent countless hours exploring the local food scene. During that time, I became increasingly fascinated by the people, practices, and products that bring Vermont's food system to life.
As I continued to explore Vermont's local food systems, my fascination with the subject only deepened. I joined ECO AmeriCorps, where my service focused on addressing climate anxiety and helping others navigate the complex emotions that come with contemplating the impact of climate change. Through my experience, I gained a deeper understanding of the relationships between climate change, agriculture, and community resilience.
As I delved deeper into my service, we experienced two significant weather events in Vermont: a late freeze in May and flooding on July 10, 2023. These events sparked my desire to continue exploring how we can build and maintain resilient food systems in the face of climate change. To further pursue this interest, I joined workshops and events hosted by NOFA-VT and Rural Vermont to learn more about regenerative agricultural practices and how to become more self-sufficient in my own food production. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, reading, camping, spending time with friends and loved ones, and appreciating all creatures, great and small.
