I want to use my work & network to create stronger systems of support for youth in the region. Especially in my industry where things can be a little too much of a free for all without checks.

Because there is no sufficient support system for people trying to work together / get to know each other/ share advice or mentorship in the region. As a person who has dedicated their entire career to a holistically supporting & representing the region through food I think we all need each other. I want to share & get wisdom from people across different industries. People that maybe in many ways we think a like & in many others we don’t.

I spend my free time working on the future of gastronomy of the region. It’s my work & my interest & my past time.
