My mission is to stimulate conversations and create innovative learning experiences where people discover their own capability, engagement and inspiration to take action. Through coaching and training, I help clients see and align themselves around what is most meaningful to them, to meet their goals at work and in life. My academic formation includes a degree in Spanish from UC Davis. With extensive coursework in biological and horticultural sciences, I also pursued a graduate-level Agriculture Education Credential at Davis. I first discovered my passion for adult education while organizing sustainable agriculture workshops for farmers. In my 25-year career, I have initiated high-impact, innovative, award-winning training programs in forward-thinking organizations ranging from worker safety to food safety and leadership development. I have focused my career in service to the people that work in agriculture. The daughter of a Dustbowl refugee, I consider farming a sacred craft. My work positively supports a pragmatic, prosperous and sustainable future for all stakeholders in the food production cycle. A 5th generation Californian, I have lived in Oregon, Washington, Mexico, Spain and Chile. My hobbies include sourdough bread baking, grey-water capture, and solar cooking while in the perpetual apprenticeship of parenting teens.aka common name misspellings: Anika Anneke Forrester
