Meet Kayla Dao: AAEC Student Ambassador

"Growing up as a first-generation student, I witnessed how access to nutritious food shapes health, education, and opportunity. These experiences led me to my major, where I focus on understanding and addressing the economic barriers that create inequities in food systems. I hope to contribute to solutions that make healthy food more accessible and sustainable for all communities."
