Strategic Advising & Consulting Services

Helping Organizations Turn Big Ideas Into Meaningful Action

My role is to help organizations navigate complexity, cultivate meaningful partnerships, and create pathways toward food systems that nourish both people and planet.

A little about me

What energizes me most is connecting dots that others may not see: between soil and human health, food and planet, science and storytelling, and individual well-being and collective resilience. I bring a systems-thinking approach grounded in scientific rigor, but also in curiosity, compassion, and relationship-building.

I believe lasting change happens when people feel invited into the conversation, when diverse voices are elevated, culture is highlighted, and when solutions are rooted not only in evidence, but also in equity, inclusion, and hope.

I don’t believe meaningful change happens through expertise alone

It happens through relationships, curiosity, collaboration, and the ability to connect people and ideas that might not otherwise find one another. My role is to help organizations see the bigger picture, identify practical pathways forward, and bring people along in the process. Together, we can cultivate food systems that nourish people, communities, and the planet.

“There is increasing multisectoral collaboration to ensure that food production practices support a nutritious food supply and promote human health while protecting environmental, economic, and societal resources.” (1)

Whether you’re a healthcare organization, nonprofit, food company, educational institution, or mission-driven business, you may be asking questions like:

  • How do we communicate why food, nutrition, and climate matter to people’s everyday lives?
  • How can we build stronger connections between human health?
  • How do we develop food procurement strategies that are healthier, more sustainable, uplift small-holder farmers and support biodiversity?
  • How do we engage stakeholders around Food Is Medicine, regenerative agriculture, plant-forward initiatives in ways that feel realistic and inclusive?
  • How do we translate emerging science into practical, actionable strategies and compelling stories?

Together we can:

  • Design and strengthen Food Is Medicine, culinary medicine, and nutrition initiatives that integrate planetary health
  • Develop sustainable food procurement and menu strategies that support both human and environmental health and/or lift up under-represented food producers
  • Build bridges between healthcare, agriculture, foodservice, education, and community organizations
  • Create educational programs, trainings, and resources that inspire action, highlight equity and deepen understanding of the soil health-nutrient density connection
  • Create educational programs, trainings, and resources that inspire action, highlight equity and deepen understanding of the soil health-nutrient density connection
  • Develop communications and thought leadership that connect nutrition, sustainability, and planetary health in meaningful ways
  • Facilitate convenings, partnerships, and cross-sector collaborations that are inclusive, uplifting and  foster innovation and systems change
  • Identify opportunities to increase visibility, engagement, and impact around food, climate, and health initiatives
  • Tell a more compelling story, one that moves beyond “good for the planet” to also illuminate why these efforts matter for people, communities, and future generations.

Food is one of our most powerful connections, to one another, to culture, to community, and to the health of the planet. Creating a healthier, more resilient future requires more than expertise alone. It calls for relationships, trust, inclusivity, curiosity, and the willingness to bridge disciplines, sectors, and perspectives in meaningful ways.

I can also serve as a speaker, facilitator, media host or podcast host/guest, for organizations seeking to engage audiences around the interconnectedness of food, health, and the environment.  I believe in fostering conversations that are inclusive, hopeful, evidence-based, and solutions-oriented.
