Why did you become a UCCE Master Gardener?
I've been a Nutrition Educator with the UC CalFresh Nutrition Program for 6 ½ years. When I learned about this program, I thought it would be a perfect match to learn more about gardening and became a Master Gardener in 2019.
In my role as a nutrition educator, I visit schools, community centers, and other organizations and help them learn healthy grocery shopping habits and meal planning and preparation. As a Master Gardener volunteer, I help create social media content for our Instagram channel. One of my favorite things to do is to create short, educational videos that show people how to garden. I love that I can use my talents and do something I enjoy that benefits the program. You can visit our Instagram account and see my posts and the videos I've created @UCMGStanislaus.
