I was born in New York City and raised in Fair Lawn, NJ. I came to Nicaragua with the Peace Corps in 1997 and have been living here ever since. After my two years in the Peace Corps, I stayed in Nicaragua, working on economic development projects with the UN Industrial Development Organization, Agora Partnerships, and the Inter-American Development Bank. When Will Burke asked me to join Sol Organica in 2011, I wasn't sure I wanted to leave development work, but the company's focus on positive social and environmental impact convinced me. When I joined the company as Operations Manager, the company was still quite small, so I oversaw everything from field operations to the processing plant, certifications, and logistics. As the company grew and hired more specialists in each area, Will eventually decided to put my knowledge of Sol Organica's products and processes to work in sales and marketing.

My favorite product is dried pitahaya, for its unique flavor and crunch. And I'm especially proud of having been part of the initiative to obtain the Regenerative Organic Certified® certification, with the Regenerative Organic Alliance, Patagonia Provisions, and NSF. a significant milestone for the company and for sustainable agriculture.
