Having grown up in South Burlington and living in the greater Burlington area all his life, Noah has been drawn to Common Roots as an intern while attending UVM, a volunteer afterwards, and now as the Board Chair for the organization. Noah has been engaged as a gardener, a student, a part-time farm worker and now a State employee serving farmers throughout Vermont to strive for a more equitable and more sustainable food system. Noah worked alongside Common Roots as a Food Systems B.S. student and as a Public Administration Masters student to evaluate directions the organization can take to provide more education to students in the same schools he attended growing up. Noah enjoys cooking, reading, watching movies, painting and hiking through all of Vermont’s seasons.
