Community Table

| Industry | Non-Profit |
| Occupation | Food localist & urban ag advocate |
| Location | San Francisco, CA, United States |
| Introduction | As an introvert, I always dread the moment when the restaurant host offers the community table, being thrown into a polite, 'where are you folks from', small talk situation, is not my idea of a wholesome meal. Why don't we just jump right in and talk about what really matters to all of us? |
| Interests | After 15 years of working in international development and sustainability management consulting, I find myself hungry for a sense of community where I live. I quit my job in August 2013 to connect with local organizations working around local food systems, and those who thrive on preparing hearty, yet simple unpretentious food. I am using the coming months to grow food and meet food justice advocates. |
What's one of your favorite meal memories from growing up? At my request, my mother would always make horchata for my birthday and a cream cake with strawberries.
