About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wait, young man. You can't escape destiny by running away.

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from Clark University with my BA in Global Environmental Studies. I am the Local Produce Coordinator and also an Intern at the Artichoke Food Cooperative. This summer I, along with two other women, will be managing the construction of an educational micro-farming plot on Clark's campus. I spend a lot of my free time working with food - cooking, fermenting, making yogurt & kefir, brewing kombucha and gardening. I also practice yoga and meditation regularly, and I just started taking tai chi lessons. I enjoy the outdoors - hiking, bicycling, skiing, swimming... I usually wake up around 6am, but I would like to make it 5:30!
