As the granddaughter of a farmer and growing up in California's Central Valley, one of the nation's most productive agricultural regions, Hayley applies her industry knowledge and natural curiosity to unearth the food myths traveling around today, including debunking popular fad diets, fast-nutrition, and myths about 'quick' dietary fixes. Hayley also researches and writes about the intersectionality of regeneration and sustainable growing methods that will safely produce enough food for future generations.

Hayley is a graduate of the University of California Santa Barbara with degrees in Sociology and Marketing. She moved to New York shortly after graduation, where she worked in sales and marketing for almost a decade before joining D2D.
