I’m driven to grow and expand across techniques, skills, and disciplines

things I want to do

In the future, I’d love to

  • Especially projects that serve my local community in Washington, DC, further food equity, or involve mapping for social good.

  • Do you work in cookbook editing or recipe writing? I'd love to chat!

  • I'd love to be actively involved with research communities outside the museum space.

  • Easier said than done!

  • I’m especially interested in causes related to food equity, arts and culture, science communication, and data literacy.

  • Truly, my dream is to help launch a small food biz! Or at least work there on weekends :)

  • Quer ser meu parceiro de conversa?

  • Especially one focused on lifting up women.

  • This one’s just for fun :) 

an idea i love

“

It’s fun to play around with the idea of calling ourselves something we want to be or become before we think we’re ready.

”

—Kristin Donnelly, in her 2022 newsletter “She called me what?!”

My values drive all that I do

Curiosity

I’m fueled by the excitement of what I don’t yet know. I find joy in chasing new ideas, making unexpected connections, and seeing where they lead.

Resourcefulness

I make things work with what I’ve got and appreciate when others do the same. For me, constraints spark creativity.

Growth

I’m always learning—there’s no end to it. Life is a constant evolution, and I’m committed to growing and improving every step of the way.
