Experience Design Goals & Achievements
Accomplishment: Summer 2023 migrated print edition to an email newsletter, improving readership, reducing costs, eliminating waste. This had been a goal of The Clarion for a long time. I am lucky to have been able to contribute to the evolution in progress. The print edition decreased in number of publications. Funding was reallocated toward developing a weekly E-Newsletter publication, which developed readership by improving accessibility.

Creativity in the Kitchen Makes Sense
I challenge myself. I search. I find. I try new things. I discover. I experience joy.
Over and over, my relationship with local produce is awakened, inspiring me to approach grocery shopping as a challenge, to buy as much local produce as possible.
The challenge often takes me outside of my comfort zone, to discover joy in new recipes. Recipes that I never thought I would like.
