Juni studied Environmental Science at the University of Texas in Austin, where she managed the on-campus farm, conducted plate-waste studies in university dining halls, and received a grant to implement an on-campus farmer’s market that is still bringing fresh local foods to UT students today. Upon returning from a year-long working-holiday in New Zealand, Juni began working in the Food Service Department at Austin Independent School District as an Executive Assistant, where she learned the ins and outs of school food finance and operations. Juni has a passion for art, community building, and swimming in natural waterways. Juni and their partner Donni are new parents and enjoy spending as much time as they can with their baby, Marceline.
