Our Emerson Fellow’s Experience at Common Threads

I applied for the Bill Emerson National Hunger Fellowship in order to learn how I could enter the anti-hunger field. My interest in this field grew over time as I pursued work in international development, environmental conservation, organic farming, and food systems development. Upon my acceptance into the program, I was thrilled to move across the country to Miami, FL for my field placement with Common Threads! In this blog, I share details about my time with Common Threads, the many projects I focused on, and what I gained from the entire experience.
