Food For Thought by Elana Nelson

Elana is a multi-passionate, adventurous, curious soul. Her deep care for the wellbeing of people and the planet led her to study Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and then go on to pursue a career in the nonprofit sector, as well becoming a yoga teacher. Over the years, Elana has gained a wide range of skills and experience through the "School of Life," in addition to leadership programs, volunteering, living & traveling abroad, and working on a variety of social justice matters. She joined Food For Thought in 2021 inspired by its mission to bring compassion and healing to vulnerable populations through food (one of her love languages). Outside of work, Elana loves to travel, sing, dance, enjoy live music, hike & explore nature, learn, experiment, and build deep connections and community.
