Full Steam Ahead with the Career Profiles Project
This summer, VSJF welcomes Lizzie McCarty as the Career Profiles Project Intern. Lizzie is originally from Newton, Massachusetts and just graduated from Saint Michael's College with a B.S. in Environmental Science. She became interested in working in the Vermont food system after becoming involved with the campus farm at Saint Michael's and is interested in Farm to Plate because of its dedication to improving all facets of the food system. She hopes to delve deeper into environmental and agricultural education, making the Career Profiles Internship a great first step in her career.
Lizzie is hard at work building out resources for teachers and students, creating additional profiles, and working with educators around the state to plan for the project in the upcoming school year. Additionally, Lizzie and the rest of the Task Force are partnering with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food, & Markets to organize in Washington County the first of a series of panels for high school students, featuring food systems professionals who will discuss their work experience.
