Organization: New York City Mayor's Office of Food Policy

A passionate food sovereignty advocate, I leverage my experiences in the food security network, community-based programming, and public health research to facilitate equitable design in practice. Centering food is an inherent human right, I work collaboratively to construct innovative and sustainable approaches for building healthy neighborhoods and resilient food systems. With a background in regulatory affairs, hospitality, organizational management, emergency food, nutrition education, and stakeholder partnerships at City, State, and Federal levels, I shape comprehensive proposals that are focused on attainability and impact. I hold a B.S. in Nutrition and Food Science, a Master's of Public Health, and am pursuing a PhD with research focused on equitable food policies and the morality of hunger.
