I am a third year co-op student at the University of Technology, Sydney completing by bachelor’s degree in Accounting.  My knowledge and passion for sustainable local produce was first triggered by taking part in various Sydney food-coop committees and through volunteer apprentices in the kitchens of chefs like Andriano Zumbo and Matt Moran.

I joined the Slow Food movement following a growing personal interest and curiosity to explore another approach of the food industry, a more sustainable one for the future.  As the Sydney Slow Food Youth Coordinator for 2010, my objective is to establish a better understanding of the Slow Food movement to the youth community in Sydney by bringing together people who share the same philosophy.
