“One of my biggest hobbies is cooking; it brings a lot of joy to me and I love seeing how it can bring people together,” said Kaitlyn Myers, development operations associate. “It’s heartbreaking to see the level of food insecurity in Maine (and nationally!) and realizing that so many people are worried about getting enough food on the table that it can be one of the biggest stressors in their daily life. I love that I’m now part of an organization that hopes to remove the stigma and stress of food insecurity because I want everyone to have the chance to see food as something that brings their families together and maybe even sparks joy like it does for me.” Myer’s background consists of positions in HR and accounting at nonprofits that provided support to children and adults with developmental disabilities; she assisted with case management at a law firm and held an administrative position at a doctor’s office. Myers also studied at Frostburg State University in Maryland and the University of Maryland Global Campus, and she is currently studying Data Analytics at SNHU.
