Why is organics important to you?
I am a big supporter of sustainability and helping the environment. Organics helps us to be more sustainable and conscious of how we are effecting the Earth. It also brings farmers and consumers closer together so that they can build a better understanding of the foods that they are purchasing and how it is grown. I believe it’s important to know what is going into your food and what you are eating.
What is your organic background?
I graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Foods & Nutrition. Organics was a small portion of what I learned in college but I’m glad that I found my way into the organic industry. I’ve worked in the organic industry for about 4.5 years now and I’ve learned so much about the regulations and the different companies out there who are passionate about organics. I still get excited when I see new organic products in the works and on the market.
What are your hobbies?
My hobbies are video editing, traveling, going to concerts, and finding new food/coffee spots.
If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
If I could be any animal I would be an otter because they are playful and love being in the water!

Why is organics important to you?
I understand that chemical-based farming can have many advantages in the market, such as higher yields and scale, but the long-term damage to land and ecosystems is not a fair trade-off. I appreciate that there is a movement to farm more naturally, working with nature instead of against her, and that is recognized by the Certified Organic seal. I buy organic whenever I can, even though it often costs more, to support those who share this belief, and who have staked their livelihood on it.
What is your organic background ?
Before joining Organic Certifiers, I worked for a vegan food brand owner for 6 years. Among other roles, I was their certification specialist, obtaining organic and Kosher certification for our products. I know first-hand the work involved in sourcing compliant ingredients, keeping records current, working with certified co-packers, and updating our certifier when we had formula changes and new products and labels. It’s been interesting to see the process from the other side of the desk.
What are your hobbies?
My husband and I live in Southern Utah, a desert environment, so focus on xeriscaping and growing herbs, fruits, and veggies in the most organic and water-smart way we can in our suburban yards. We also plant proactively to support pollinators and wild birds. In the cooler months, I do family history research and create life story scrapbooks.
If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
My husband said to say tiger, because he thinks I am fierce and relentless when I go after a goal. But I think I’d be happiest as a dog in my own household. They are pampered and loved and who wouldn’t want that?

Why is organics important to you?
The transparency that comes with certified organic food is important to me as a personal consumer and a mother. There is too much unknown in the conventional food industry that being able to purchase organically gives me more peace of mind. Additionally, the organic food industry focuses on sustainability and I want my future generations to be left with nutritious options as well. Because before you know it if we do not take care of the earth and what it produces, what we are left to eat will be 99% engineered.
What is your organic background ?
It is interesting where life takes us. I graduated from Old Dominion University in Virginia with a B.S. in Psychology. I was given the wonderful opportunity to work for Organic Certifiers and it all changed. I have worked in the organic field going on ten years. I have held various roles within the industry, and I believe that has been an important aspect to the overall knowledge that I bring. Each position I have held has been a crucial building block preparing me for the next role. I love challenging myself and learning new things and I have been able to do that not only in this industry but here at Organic Certifiers.
What are your hobbies?
I love trying new things whether that is a restaurant or a state park. Kayaking brings me such peace I wish I could do it more. I like to craft and being around animals is my happy place. I have two small children so adventuring with them now is the greatest joy and seeing new things from their eyes is so magical I just cannot get enough.
If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
That is a tough one. It is a toss up between an eagle and a house cat. As an eagle I can sore above it all and still spend time in the water. I wouldn’t have to worry about too much since I’d be a bird of prey without natural predators. A house cat on the other hand appeals to my lazy side where I could lounge around all day eating and sleeping and occasionally being pet when I say so.
