I developed the passion for food at a young age as I became aware of my interests and the pleasure it gave me. My Italian heritage made this even more pronounced as we use food to show love and friendship and bring family together. Growing up it became clear to me that food was the main agricultural output and this resulted to a discovery of my passion for agriculture.
It was this curiosity and interest in food that led me to pursue a career in biology. During my studies, I learned about the long history of food that average consumers are unaware of when shopping at their local markets. The experience not only made me care more about agriculture and the diverse ways to producing food but also turned me into a more conscious consumer.
