Kate has worked at the Glynwood Center for Food and Farming since spring 2019. As Program Manager of Glynwood's Regional Food Programs, Kate facilitates the Hudson Valley CSA Coalition, manages partnerships and record keeping for the Food Sovereignty Fund, and oversees the Cider Project, including by serving on the board of the New York Cider Association. In helping build and maintain Glynwood's networks of farmers, chefs, cider makers, and other food system actors, Kate works with the aim of establishing a more cohesive, equitable and robust Hudson Valley. 

Before coming to Glynwood, Kate worked as an environmental science educator in New York City through the organization Christodora. She additionally did freelance research for the Open Space Institute and for the Overbrook Foundation on issues surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion in environmental programming and sustainability in the cattle industry. 

Kate graduated from Yale in 2018 with a degree in Environmental Studies. Her work for the Yale Sustainable Food Program gave her experience in event planning, organic farming, food justice, and outdoor education. Originally from Iowa, Kate sees sustainable agriculture as an imperative initiative to protect the environment and local farming communities. When she's not thinking about food and farming systems, Kate enjoys trail running, playing chamber music, and cooking.
