About Libby

Libby is a graduate student at UC Davis in their Community Development Department.  She is planning on working this fall with the "Grow Local, Buy Local" campaign with the Sacramento County Farm Bureau and hopes to continue her education in local food systems.  She is greatly appreciative of her experiences while interning at CCOF and believes it to be a great place to start any career in organics.

About Sara
Sara’s involvement with CCOF provided her great experience in marketing and allowed her to incorporate an environmental focus into her work.  She graduated from UC Santa Cruz with Honors in Psychology in 2008.  She worked as CCOF Internship Coordinator during 2007-2008, and helped set the intern team in motion.  In the future, Sara hopes to pursue a degree in organizational behavior and work toward a career that combines her psychological training, her interest in business, and her deeply felt passion for sustainability.  While no such position may exist yet, Sara looks forward to the challenge and will surely draw upon the lessons and skills she acquired while working with CCOF.
