Favorite Quote: "Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein
"The Ohio City Refugee Response Farm provides fresh, local, and healthy food to hundreds of Cleveland families while empowering refugees to become self-sufficient in their new communities. Sitting on nearly 6 acres, this is one of the largest urban farms in the US. Since beginning service, I think it’s easy to get swept up in wanting to complete big projects with grand gestures, but sometimes pulling weeds and battling slugs is where you’re needed most. It’s like a domino effect: the one million small jobs keep the farm running and I’m just so grateful to be a part of the process!"

The Morgan Conservatory is the largest arts center in the United States dedicated to every facet of papermaking, book arts, and letterpress printing and to cultivating the talents of established and emerging artists. An international destination that is free and open to the public, the Morgan Conservatory is a working studio, gallery, gathering place for the community, educational hub, and purveyor of some of the finest handmade papers in the world.
