Tell us a bit about your background and how it helped shape the expertise you bring to CAE. 
I grew up in Vermont, left for college, and returned as a young adult. No matter where I roamed the Green Mountains called me home! I have varied background from my time on our local volunteer Fire Department as a teen to conservation and forestry work, dentistry, education and animal science...and I'm back in school! I love learning.

What excites you about your work and/or the work of CAE?
I am excited to deepen my knowledge of and connection to our special region through the delivery driver role. I can't wait to meet more of the people and see the places who make up our local food economy.

What brings you joy? (work or otherwise)
My beloveds, both human and animal and this beautiful Earth of ours.

What brings you hope? (work or otherwise)
New growing things! Seedlings and baby creatures always make me feel hopeful. So does laughing with friends new and old.
