EarthForce Program Manager

I grew up in Ithaca, NY, and am raising my family here. I am a lifelong attendee and supporter of alternative education. My adult work in this community has been centered in the food system, from working on farms, to managing a large CSA, to working as a chef. My most recent work was as a co-founder of the Youth Farm Project, a not-for-profit bringing land-based social justice education to local young people.

I love New Roots’s commitment to experiential education in the areas of the natural world and climate responsiveness. I am excited to weave the innovative programs of EarthForce together for the students at New Roots, and to support New Roots students to make a strong, positive impact on our community.
