Prior to joining Longmont Food Rescue in 2020, Naomi spent the previous decade in the environmental nonprofit sector, with a focus on food waste reduction and rescue, as well as community organizing with the Transition Town movement and facilitating workshops for Pachamama Alliance and Project Drawdown. In addition to her work with LFR, she is the Board Chair of Sustainable Resilient Longmont and chairs their Zero Waste Committee, treasurer on the board of Colorado EcoWomen, and recorder for Recycle Colorado's Composting Council.

At LFR, she hopes to bring her knowledge of sustainable agriculture, local food, and community outreach to help foster a more equitable and less wasteful food system.
