Amanda Thibodeau has been working in education and non-profit management for the last decade. After working in multiple healthcare startups, Thibodeau moved to the Sierra Nevada foothills to learn about sustainable agriculture with the goal of teaching students where their food comes from. There, she founded and developed a thriving educational farm serving thousands of students and educators throughout the region, later pioneering a farm-to-school program that serves over 96 percent of classrooms in her county while developing cutting edge curriculum and professional development to support this program. She is currently director of knowledge for MBZ Labs.
