After a remote ceremony for undergrad I finally got to walk the stage with a Master of Science in Sustainable Food Systems from the Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems at Arizona State University 🎓 Aside from this monumental accomplishment I am celebrating being selected as the Outstanding Graduate Student for the School of Sustainability, graduation with distinction, and status as a USDA NextGen Scholar. Achievements like this wouldn’t be possible without the support of my friends, family, and collegues. Special thank you to Kathleen Merrigan, PhD for her tireless work in advancing a more just, sustainable, and equitable food system. Additional thanks to Swette Center staff for their hard work in keeping such an amazing and growing program running! Onward and Upward from here! 🎈 If you are interested in learning more about the program, please don’t hesitate to reach out. #asugrad #sustainability #foodsystems ASU College of Global Futures

Congratulations I am so proud of you and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. I'm so happy to have met you during our Washington immersive, a chat on the lawn at the Capitol Building in the heat of the day, a memory I'll never forget.
