Xena Grossman

“Xena grew up in the Northeast but happily traded snowy winters for Southern California’s open spaces and sunshine. She holds an MS in Nutrition from Boston University and a BA in Environmental Science from Barnard College, reflecting her passion for both human and environmental health. She brings nearly two decades of experience in nonprofit fundraising and program operations to Food Forward.

Outside of work, you’ll most likely find her hiking, experimenting with vegan desserts (aquafaba is magical!), or packing light for her next adventure.”
