Describe yourself

I am an optimistic change-maker and global gypsy with a passion for exploring new cultures and finding the crossroads of grassroots activism and policymaking, especially in the fields of food, agriculture and education, technology, and innovation.

What do you do?

As the Co-founder and Orchestrator of SGM, I keep the vision and mission on track by coordinating the team and stakeholders to ensure the network reaches its highest potential through strong connections, collaborations, and partnerships.

Why you joined SGM?

Food once transformed my life and I found my identity and pride through it, so I know about the power of food firsthand. Now, imagine the power of food and the power of a collective of change agents coming together. This is exactly where my vision crossed with David Hertz’s, and we decided to join forces to bring this vision to life!
