2024 updates
It's been a while! With just a couple of weeks left in 2024, here's an update:
- I am halfway through a second year teaching in UNH's Department of Agriculture, Nutrition, and Food Systems, and truly enjoying it!
- This month I'll be completing the CITI course on Responsible Conduct of Research in Social, Behavioral, and Education (SBE) Sciences, and
- I've enrolled in a UNH Women's Studies course for the January term: Women, Power, and Privilege. Very excited to dive in.
- I attended the NH Food Alliance Statewide Gathering in May, and the NH Nutrition Equity Summit in October, and was inspired by colleagues, dedicated advocates, and newcomers helping to connect nutrition, agriculture, and social equity through research, policy, and education.
- On behalf of Cornucopia Project, I secured a $50,000 USDA Farm to School grant for the "High School Food Systems Journey" that will support high school student farmer training and curriculum development. So thrilled for the opportunities this will create!
- I've updated this blog a bit, deleting dead links, sprucing up my CV, and overhauling the look. I've also started experimenting with linktr.ee.
- I drafted a children's book! "Banana Legs" will be looking for a publisher next year.
- I smashed a personal record in roller derby, playing 29 games as a skater plus one as an official. (A typical year sees 4-6 games.) This year took me to Quebec City (officially making me an international player), Chicago (!), and my original home track in Antrim, NH.
- This has been a year of deepening friendships. Supporting friends' art projects and performances, cooking for friends and gathering them around the fire or for walks in the rain, celebrating their milestones and their everyday presence.
Stay in touch in 2025!
