Summary

Passionate and purpose-driven food systems professional with a strong foundation in sustainable sourcing, customer engagement, and cross-functional leadership across artistic, restaurant, retail, farm, and e-commerce environments. I bring hands-on experience in supply chain operations, team management, and mission-aligned work—including roles in farm stands, artisanal food production, and hospitality, as well as supplemental work as an Instacart shopper, offering firsthand insight into consumer behavior and fulfillment logistics.

Deeply connected to the Bay Area’s agricultural community through years of working in farmers' markets and being an avid foodie at sustainable restaurants, I am personally and professionally committed to sourcing local, seasonal, and ethically produced food. Adept at balancing data-informed decisions with community values and customer empathy, I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments where integrity, curiosity, and care lead the way.
