Board of Directors | Current Term: 2026-2029

When I first moved to Pittsboro in 2020, Chatham Marketplace immediately stood out to me as a community I wanted to join. I felt fortunate to have a nearby grocery that I could trust to offer foods that are healthy for my family and responsibly sourced. What we eat is a primary driver of our health, and the Marketplace has been an important resource for me in crafting a healthy lifestyle. I saw the co-operative model as a rare opportunity to have a direct relationship with a community organization and have a voice in working together to pursue a shared mission of supporting local and sustainable farming.
In my career as a hospice physician, I listen to what’s most important to people and help them navigate through serious illness and significant challenges. As a member of the board of directors, I’ll bring those listening skills to our team and owners to understand our community’s shared goals and help figure out how we can achieve them together.
