Kalli Fenk

Kalli spent her undergraduate career at Sacramento State University majoring in Environmental Science. She has always been interested in many aspects of the environment. Everything from climate change to ethnoecology has interested her deeply. It wasn't until Kalli's internship at Soil Born Farms, a non-profit urban farm in Rancho Cordova, that she realized her love for sustainable agriculture, food systems, and community development. Since graduating, she has spent her time as a forester in the foothills of California. Although Kalli likes being outside surrounded by trees all the time, she decided to apply to this program so that she could learn more about the policy process behind sustainable agriculture and refocus her career path on what she really loves.
