In my academic work, I am an Adjunct Lecturer in the Food Studies Program at University of Southern Maine, and a Doctoral Candidate in Environmental Studies at Antioch University New England. The working title of my dissertation is Cultivating Connections: A Critical Autoethnography of Gardens, Higher Education, and Social Identity in Community Food Systems. In my nonprofit work, I am the Program Coordinator at The Cornucopia Project and the Director of NH Gleans. At home, my family and I raise laying hens, vegetables, herbs, berries, and native flowers and a run a tiny garden CSA, Hindsight Gardens.
My practices of writing, educating, research, and leadership are woven with my love of gardening, farming, and engaging community members. I am committed to the deep work of thriving, equitable, resilient local food systems. I welcome you to connect and share your ideas for collaboration.
