FoodWorks Team

FoodWorks Director

Sophie is thrilled to be back at Middlebury College, returning nine years after an internship at the College Organic Farm. She has spent most of her life in the wider world of food and wine, where she has worked for wineries and various garden, farm and food organizations. Sophie has a masters in Food Culture and Communications from the University of Gastronomic Sciences.  She works closely with students, faculty, staff, as well as the broader food community, on numerous food initiatives. The strengthening of communities is what excites Sophie the most about food systems and is a big part of why she is so thrilled about the Middlebury College FoodWorks program

Amy Gibans McGlashan serves as the overall administrator of the FoodWorks program.  As Director of Academic Outreach and Special Projects at Middlebury’s Center for Careers and Internships, one of Amy’s favorite projects since day one has been to work in close collaboration with her Louisville and Middlebury partners to build the FoodWorks program from scratch.   Her background is in innovative models for education, civic engagement, and project-based learning.  Amy is among many at Middlebury who believe that the distinctive structure and curriculum of FoodWorks is a powerful learning model, and she will be working to replicate it with other academic programs and departments in the coming months and years.
