Hello!  I am the Statewide Agritourism Coordinator with the University of California Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education Program (UC SAREP). I have devoted my career to strengthening vibrant and sustainable food systems.  Before joining UC SAREP, I have worked for non-profit organizations promoting urban farming and food security in Washington, DC, building a robust local food system on the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, and showcasing sustainable agroforestry techniques in southern Belize. In each of these settings, I have seen the power of agritourism to provide resiliency to farmers, inspire and educate the public, and connect the community.  I am eager to connect with, learn from, and share ideas with California farmers and ranchers.
