Originally from San Francisco and based in Europe since 2013, Jennara has long used food as a form of activism; teaching people about plant-based cooking and sustainability as a way to inspire change. Over more than a decade, she worked in kitchens from Michelin-starred restaurants to innovative startups, and traveled across Europe cooking, sharing knowledge, and connecting with communities around food. Her passion for spreading ideas about sustainable living and her love of cross-cultural collaboration naturally led her toward the nonprofit world. At Voices for Animal Welfare, Jennara continues this path on a global scale, contributing her skills to a team united by empathy and a vision of wellbeing for both animals and people.
