What is your project about? The Sustainable Food Systems Fellowship provides me with the opportunity to closely analyze the environmental and social impacts of ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½'s food system. Izzy and I will be collaborating with ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½’s dining services and The Real Food Challenge to identify specific opportunities for improvement within ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½’s food system including expanding our partnership with local food suppliers.
How will this fellowship support you in your future scholarship/career goals? This fellowship will help me pursue a career related to sustainable food systems by exposing me to the practical applications of implementing sustainable programs. The research and data analysis skills I will gain from this fellowship will be extremely valuable and applicable across a multitude of environmental fields.
What extra/co-curricular activities are you involved in on campus? I am the Sustainability and Nutrition Coordinator for Into the Wild, a chartered student organization that focuses on providing ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ students with opportunities to get off campus and explore California's wilderness. I am also the co-founder of Plant Futures Initiative, a national organization that aims to bridge the gap between students and the professional world of sustainable food systems.
Other passions, hobbies, fun facts, or anything else you want to share? I love everything about the outdoors and am very into hiking and just about anything to do with the ocean. I’m a huge scuba diver and this is what sparked my passion for sustainability and especially marine conservation. Some of my other hobbies include running, surfing, cooking, and I’m a huge foodie!
