She received her bachelor’s degree in English literature from the University of California at Santa Cruz (go banana slugs!) and a master’s degree in sustainable food systems from Green Mountain College. In her spare time she enjoys salsa dancing, reading Harry Potter with the kids, and spending time with her friends and family here, in Georgia, and overseas.
