As a project associate at the Center, I have the rare and unique opportunity to combine my background in the culinary arts, my degree in global studies, and my experiences as a first generation American to make positive changes in rural communities all across the Great Plains each and every day.

I work primarily in community inclusion and food access. I can't imagine a more rewarding and positive position. I'm inspired by being able to meet so many new people and assist in building networks of community leaders who all share a passion for making their communities a stronger, and more inviting place to live for everyone.
