Work involving the elimination of barriers among adults experiencing difficult situations and setbacks in order to reduce generational poverty is a method I'll always back, for poverty is inextricably linked to the poor health conditions worldwide. Being able to gain skills and knowledge of nonprofit management has been a priceless opportunity, especially in a program designed for individuals to feel welcomed, heard, challenged, and encouraged. I have grown even more passion for the reduction of health disparities through collaborative programming and holistic methods of care and feel fortunate to have been a part of an organization that values such practices.

The community garden was started in this area to break down barriers leading to food insecurity in a food desert area of Waterloo, IA. Fresh fruits and vegetables grown in the garden are washed and weighed after harvest then immediately distributed for free to patients and community members with educational materials inside the clinic. The first year of a community garden required a great deal of planning and action. I led in the role of data collection, communication organization, grant writing, project outreach, and promotional design while also being able to get my hands dirty in the garden for much of the maintenance experience as well.
