Serena Coltrane-Briscoe, Program Assistant

Serena joined AIN in 2010. In addition to providing program support, she manages office communications, accounts, and purchasing.

Serena comes to AIN with a background in food systems and architectural design. After receiving an undergraduate degree from the University of California at Santa Cruz in Environmental Studies and Economics, she went on to coordinate the Farm-to-School program for Community Alliance with Family Farmers’ Central Coast region. For over two years, she worked to forge fruitful relationships between school food service programs and local, family farms, while educating children about food, farms, and nutrition. Serena then decided to pursue another passion of hers and attended the University of Oregon, graduating with a master of architecture degree in 2009. A native of Sonoma County, Serena moved home in October 2009. She has enjoyed combining her dual passions by applying her design education to food system-related projects.
