Personal chef and intern, Foodwise
Fenella’s personal and academic interests lie at the intersection of human health, nutrition, and sustainable food systems. She is a personal chef and an intern at Foodwise, which aims to grow thriving communities through the power and joy of local foods. Fenella completed an MA in the Sustainability Science and Practice program and a BS in Earth Systems at Stanford. While at Stanford, Fenella worked as a summer research assistant for the Social Ecology Lab on a project to understand how hope and concern motivate pro-environmental behavior in the context of youth activists. Through that project, she became fascinated by the nuances and implications of environmental communication. Fenella hopes to further pursue these learnings to understand consumer decision making in response to public health campaigns and the mass media promotion of sustainable diets. She hopes to continue to leverage her knowledge from university and make lasting change in the food system.
