BIO

Krizzia Belén-Trineo is a Ph.D. candidate in Food Systems and a Gund graduate fellow. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, she is interested in the ways rural and oppressed people create and exist within "alternative" food systems. Krizzia is passionate about environmental justice, systems thinking, and creative leadership. She strongly believes in the power of storytelling to push environmental justice and equity forward. Her dissertation research on the intersections of climate change and moose hunting in Vermont will be turned into an audio documentary series.

Before switching her career focus to food systems, Krizzia got a double B.A in Anthropology & Archaeology and Foreign Languages from the University of Puerto Rico. She calls both Puerto Rico and Vermont home. When not working, you can find Krizzia reading folklore and history, cooking, or taking early dawn walks in the woods.
