Hi! My name is Abby Cheskis, and over the past two years I have started to learn about and question the current industrial food system. I’m from Westchester, New York and I’m studying environmental studies and psychology, with the hope that this link will enable me to gain a new perspective in regards to the food system, particularly in relation to climate change. Although I’m technically in the class of 2016, I just took a gap year and am transferring colleges, so I will be graduating in 2017. When I heard about FoodWorks, I knew that it would be a great way for me to further my academic learning about the food system, as well as gain experience working with organizations which are promoting change. I’m really looking forward to learning about and becoming a part of Louisville’s food community, as well as getting to know the other interns. It’s going to be an awesome summer!
