Liz is thrilled to be a Cooking Matters AmeriCorps member working with the Southeast Oregon Regional Food Bank. Her life-long interest in food began with kitchen experiments as a child and developed into student involvement with the Student/Farmworker Alliance and work with Farm to School programs through the Sustainable Food Center in Austin. She earned her BA in Anthropology at The University of Texas at Austin in May of ’09 and since has volunteered in a community acupuncture clinic and traveled through Europe. She looks forward to passing on her love of food and nutrition to others through Cooking Matters.
