Sustainability Graduate Student at Harvard University Extension/ Chicago Conservation Corps (C3) Leader/ Founder of Ripe Mind Project

Chicago

I’m a city dweller of Chicago with a southern charm brought to you by my hometown, the metropolitan area of Atlanta, GA. I have a BS in Agribusiness from Florida A & M University which has given me access to work for industry-leading corporations/NPO such as International Paper, Sysco, Feeding America and currently Olam International. Moreover, I’m pursuing a MLA in Sustainability at Harvard University Extension that will allow me to push forth my (near) future entrepreneurial endeavors in sustainable agriculture and local food systems. I’m also a C3 Leader for the Chicago Conservation Corps (C3) voluntarily hosting citywide sustainability and environmental projects. Interestingly enough, I consider myself a foodie (not surprisingly), book worm, shopaholic, music junkie and all-around adventurer.
