Blending hands-in-dirt service, soulful inspiration, and whip-smart reporting, Modern Farmer understands that a tomato is never just a tomato—it’s also a political, and deeply personal, statement about who we want to be and the world we hope to live in. Prior to this role, she has served as the editor-in-chief of Country Living, Budget Living, O at Home, and Organic Style.

What do you love most about your work?

At Modern Farmer specifically I work with the smartest, most creative, and most collaborative group of women who passionately believe the magazine can make a difference.
