Rooted Community Consulting is committed to activating resiliency, building network connections, and strengthening food enterprises' capacity to grow and sell healthy foods to their communities.
I lead with my values and bring all my experiences to the table. You can count on my intentionality and authenticity. I believe that food connects us, binds us, and teaches us. And I am dedicated to caring for and supporting the people and communities who steward local food systems change forward.

My Services
You are the expert at your business or in your community. Whether its having someone at your side to help the planning, scheduling, project and people management it takes to coordinate a on-farm project or a large statewide network, I want to be there to help your vision into reality.
Facilitation is about opening up the space for emergent visioning, planning, strategizing, and more! Whether conducting a performance review of your org's programming or a board retreat to set the stage for the future - equity based facilitation allows every voice to be heard and collaboration to thrive.
Rooted down in my community I am connected to different mutual aid efforts in Madison and have supported the formation and maintenance of these groups. Being part of the reciprocity of community is just one way I enact my values.
