I became part of the Duke Student Affairs family in July of 2012, as the Marketing Manager for Duke Dining, and am currently the Director of Communications for Duke Dining. A creator at heart I have a passion for finding new ways to engage an audience, especially our Duke students and community.

At Duke Dining, we think being “sustainable” means operating deliberately—being intentional and thoughtful in how we feed the Duke community. That’s why we call our sustainability program, “Deliberate Dining.” Duke Dining recognizes that the modern food system often pursues efficiencies and profit at the expense of environmental health, community well-being, and fair economic relationships.
