Growing up just outside of St Helena, California, Katia has had a love for the outdoors and agriculture since a young age. As a member of 4H and Future Farmers of America in her youth, she realized her love for agriculture and its role in our climate crisis. Katia graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems, but still wants to be a cowgirl when she grows up. 


After graduating from UC Davis, Katia moved back home to work harvest at a small winery and coach middle school mountain biking. But quickly moved to Truckee for the cold winters and countless outdoor activities, and began at the hub as a volunteer! 

Katia loves how Tahoe Food Hub connects local producers with customers, and helps spread the importance of supporting local food not only for our neighbors, but our own health.
