Bio:

"While food has an incredible power to bring people together, it simultaneously holds the power of destruction. I envision a future community where everybody has access to nutritious food regardless of economic status, where connection grows around a dinner table, and all voices are recognized as valuable. I want to work to change our food system to allow and foster connection and wellbeing through food!"

Bio:

"I care about food security because I know what it is like to feel insecure with food availability.
