I currently serve as a Farm to School Educator with the School Food Project as an EE Corps/AmeriCorps member. In this role, I support students in building a place-based understanding of food and nutrition. Teaching students where food comes from naturally intersects with the collective health of the non-human world and humans, community well-being, and equity. Through our programming, we honor farmers in surrounding communities while exploring how local food systems support the three pillars of sustainability: environmental stewardship, economic resilience, and social equity. These lessons aim to foster stewardship while empowering students to reframe how they understand and relate to their environment.

Nutrition is something that connects us all, to the environment and to one another. Without healthy soil, there is little nourishment, and without a grounded understanding of where food comes from, both present and future generations risk becoming deeply disconnected from reciprocity-based mindsets and long-term health. Food is medicine, and food is culture; it carries history, identity, and lived experience. For this reason, I am deeply committed to integrating cultural inclusivity into my lessons, ensuring that food and environmental education honors diverse traditions, perspectives, and relationships to land. This course feels like a natural extension of both my work and my values as an educator.
