General Information

About Barbara:	The most important thing in my life is working in an area that has a community component. I am especially interested in working with underrepresented communities on environmental issues as well as urban agriculture/community gardens. As an outsider my approach is engaging in active listening to what the community needs rather than dictating to the community what is good for them. To this end I would like to employ the MA that I received in Community Change and Civic Leadership.
Gender:	Female
Current Organisation:	Merrifield Garden Center
What kind of positive change do you want to create in the world over the next 12 months?:	I would like to obtain employment in community outreach. Obtaining employment in my area of interest will be the beginning of working with communities to transform their world into a healthy place to reside.
