She has many fond childhood memories from time spent on a local dairy farm and a summer internship working at London’s Farm Dairy, one of Michigan’s largest processors of milk and ice cream. She is honored to work on behalf of California’s dairy farm families and milk processors to support community health, as the organization provides professional trainings, nutrition expertise and resources to elevate the health of children and families through the pursuit of lifelong healthy eating habits.
