Hi! I’m Kaley, a high school student from the Bay Area. Food has always been an important part of my life, deeply rooted in the home cooking I grew up with. Living across the street from my cousins, I cherished our weekly dinners, where my mom or aunt would prepare delicious Asian dishes for us to share. Over the years, this love for food has only grown as I’ve explored diverse cuisines both locally and globally.The intersection of my passion for food, my love for art, and my concern for the environment drew me to this opportunity to share and promote Food Shift’s initiatives and messaging. To me, preventing wasted food is incredibly important because it directly impacts our environment–wasting food means wasting valuable resources like water and energy. Decomposing food in landfills produce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. It’s something I feel deeply connected to, especially as my generation takes on the responsibility of finding solutions to rapid climate change. Working with Food Shift has given me the wonderful opportunity to contribute to an organization that actively addresses this issue in a thoughtful, meaningful, and strategic way.My go-to preference when eating out is sushi, and my favorite vegetable is onions because of their versatility and flavor!#foodshift #nonprofit #wastedfood #environment #studentintern #like ...
