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.
