• Honors Thesis: An Analysis of the Local Food Movement in Carlisle, Pennsylvania

  • 2016 Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition Christine Wilson Undergraduate Award

               Winning this award was an honor. Beyond the recognition I am thankful for the chance to attend the American                           Anthropological Association's annual conference in Minneapolis, MN.  I had the chance to meet several people who                   influenced my research while also learning about new and exciting research in the field of Nutritional Anthropology.

Greenstone Fields Flower Farm                                                                                                         Purcellville, VA

I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of working at Greenstone Fields because I was able to apply the leadership skills I had spent the last two years developing while learning a totally new type of agricultural production.  This position challenged my ability to think on my feet because I was constantly managing multiple projects and people simultaneously.  I often was learning as I was supervising and so I had to make sure I was paying close attention to the details of each task.  As the crew leader I clearly communicated with both the owner and my crew members to ensure that all tasks were completed efficiently.

• Led 5-8 student farmers in semi-weekly harvests for 150 CSA members, approximately 300 farmers market customers and up to 2400 students

Student Farmer                                                                                                                                      01/2014 - 04/2016

​As a student farmer I worked at the Dickinson Farm for about 10 hours per week through a work-study program.  I also worked at the farm full-time during the summer after my sophomore year.  In this position I honed my customer service skills while helping customers at the weekly farmers market and at the weekly on-campus vegetable stand.  I also had to apply my strong time management skills to make sure that I was able to work at the farm without falling behind on my academic and extracurricular obligations.

Board Member & Secretary                                                                                                                    03/2016 - 12/2017

During my senior year at Dickinson College I received permission to observe a few Farmers on the Square board meetings as part of my thesis research.  After observing two meetings, I requested to join the board and was approved.  I am the youngest member to have sat on the board and I am the only Dickinson student to have been a board member.  Shortly after joining, I was elected to be the secretary.  I am thankful for this experience because I was able to see how a volunteer-run non profit functions.  I learned that collaboration, clear communication, and the ability to take initiative is key to accomplishing projects that move the non-profit closer to its mission.
