Meet Nessa, DUG’s Senior Director of Partnerships
Nessa is a natural connector with a deep curiosity about the world and a passion for building relationships. She thrives on creating strategic partnerships that bring funding to community-driven projects while engaging and educating stakeholders about food systems, community building, and climate resiliency.
When she’s not forging connections, you’ll find Nessa traveling, birdwatching, gardening, or hiking with her wife and their pups. A lifelong learner, she loves reading autobiographies, watching documentaries, and cheering on her favorite sports teams. She also plays the piano and is currently working on her skateboarding skills—because why not keep learning new tricks?
Nessa holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental Health from CU Denver and is always looking for new ways to make a meaningful impact.
