- Updating the organization's strategic plan- Developing and executing a community engagement strategy- Assisting with grant seeking and administration

My past work has focused on local food and supporting agriculture. I am now exploring the world of affordable housing and supporting a team that builds and maintains housing to provide people with this basic human right, and works to provide services to help raise people up to become self-sufficient.

Worked to promote agritourism, encourage local food production and consumption, and preserve agricultural land in the south Brighton area.
