Partnerships

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with several non-profits including HealthRIGHT 360, American Humane Association and many food banks as well as trade associations and government agencies. A few of the trade associations and member organizations include: California Association of Food Banks, California Poultry Federation, Wine Institute, California Grown, and California and Washington Agriculture in the Classroom.  I have worked with several City (e.g., City of San Francisco, City of Oakland, SF Dept. of the Environment), regional and state representatives and organizations (Sec. of Ag Karen Ross,  former member and Speaker pro Tempore of the California State Assembly Fiona Ma, Rep. Jim Costa, CDFA) along with school districts in various parts of the California and the Pacific Northwest. On top of incident-specific (e.g., COVID-19, wildfire and flood relief) food bank partnerships, I have forged decade-long holiday partnerships with SF-Marin Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank, Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services, Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, Oregon Food Bank and Northwest Harvest. I have also built partnerships with universities including UC Davis and Fresno State and helped countless K-12 schools, institutes of higher education and outdoor wilderness camps navigate issues as well as promote programs.
