She's a postdoctoral researcher at the Innovation Institute for Food and Health at UC Davis and fellow with Food Shot Global, and is UC Davis partner for the California Farm Demonstration Network. She's lead Soil Scientist at Kiss the Ground, and the founder of Soil Life Services and a new project called Soil Life.
