“We were inspired by Jackie's vision for the future of Portland's culinary scene,” says PCA President Diane Morgan. “Jackie's professional goal of minimizing food waste comes from her personal experiences growing up in Southern Appalachia and working in restaurants in Portland. We are proud to support her culinary path and partner with OCI.”
According to Jackie, "through my education I've learned what a vital role culinarians play in the food system, the environment, and the health of the public. We have more power than we think. My dream is to propel this movement of food utilization forward."
