Experience
Local Food Specialist, Grants and Partnerships
Feb 2025 — Present
I drive supply chain innovation in local foods through collaboration—within the Local Food Connection program team, across teams in the company, and with external partners. I develop and manage partnerships and grant-funded projects, monitor the impact of our work on local food systems and company performance, and communicate about that impact to a wide range of audiences.
