Season 3 interviews kick-off with an interview of Amanda Gettes, who is the Executive Dean of Urban Agriculture at City Colleges of Chicago, where she is on the leading edge of building education programs for the development of Cannabis and other urban farming initiatives. She started her career in environmental science, but pivoted into public service, then pursued an opportunity in higher education. Her story is filled with critical decision points leading to career changes that set-up her role leading strategic initiatives at Olive Harvey College, and eventually her role leading the Urban Agriculture program. Not only does Amanda have a great career story, she's also my little cousin, so I cannot stress how proud I am to know her both personally and professionally.
