About Lea Elton
I am passionate about food access, community building, social services, and social justice. As a strong relationship-builder, developer, and empathy-driven native New Yorker, I am dedicated to bolstering the local food system to thrive. As a trained sociologist, I believe that the intersectional inequities in our food systems should be remedied from a macro-policy level. With an analytical, compassionate, and results-driven approach, I have committed my career to supporting food access non-profits expand their connection to the New York community.
