Zinnia Koy, Food Initiatives Program Manager\"Photo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
Zinnia is a recent graduate from Augsburg with BA in Sociology and a Campus Kitchen student intern alum. Their interest in increasing food access has been largely influenced by their family, who were farmers in Cambodia and are now devoted gardeners in the U.S. Zinnia has always treasured summers tending to the garden, picking vegetables and preparing food with their loved ones. The act of growing food, preparing food together, and sharing food with those around them is nourishing, comforting, and inspiring across language and culture. They are dedicated to sustainability, food sovereignty and co-creating a community in which we can rely on one another to share knowledge, grow where there is room for it, and rely on each other for our needs.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
