NAME:<\/strong> Elisa Gollub, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YEARS AT CDFA:<\/strong> Almost 2.5 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROGRAM:<\/strong> Office of Farm to Fork<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TITLE:<\/strong> Impact & Communications Lead \/ Research Data Specialist II<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USUAL DAILY ACTIVITIES:<\/strong> I try to take a walking break or walking meeting most days. I first joined CDFA to help design and run the pilot Healthy Stores Refrigeration Grant Program, and recently moved into a role focused on evaluation and metrics for Farm to Fork programs, as well as communications. I still consult with grantees frequently on issues that arise and work closely with colleagues to coordinate evaluation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW DO YOU WORK FOR THE CALIFORNIA FOOD SUPPLY?<\/strong> I support food access and food security in our efforts to connect consumers and students with fresh, California-grown produce that is accessible and affordable for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MEMORABLE MOMENT ON THE JOB: <\/strong>One of my first days on the job, I accompanied colleagues on a California Nutrition Incentive Program site visit in the North Bay Area \u2013 and surprisingly had the chance to draw on my background in Russian history when it turned out there was no translator for the Russian-speaking older adults participating in the incentive program at the farmers\u2019 market that day. I found myself standing in the rain translating for the group so they could use their incentives to get double value for the produce they wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE:<\/strong> Keep learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY?<\/strong> I look forward to walks and coffees with colleagues when things get back to normal!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
