Mississippi Mushrooms is an urban mushroom farm located in North Minneapolis. As intern I worked closely with the owners and operators of the farm, assisting with all stages of the mushroom cultivation process. This experience provided me with a healthy dose of entrepreneurial inspiration and practical urban farming knowledge, ultimately strengthening my personal convictions regarding local and sustainable food production.

I completed 45 hours of unpaid work with the Mill City Farmers Market to as my senior capstone project at the University of Minnesota. The work was comprised of clerical tasks, working market booths, and a deliverable project pertaining to the proposed Minneapolis plastic bag ban ordinance.

Independently facilitated and conducted volunteer work with four organic farms throughout New Zealand
