Name: Meredith Nordell

Role at GardenShare: Student Volunteer
How long? September 2017-December 2017
Why I do what I do at GardenShare: Food insecurity has always been an issue that I have been passionate about, when I saw the opportunity to volunteer at an organization like this I jumped at the opportunity because I believe that it will not only allow me to make a small difference in the wider community but I can also get a better sense of the area itself and the people who live and work here.
Role outside of GardenShare: I am a full time student majoring in sociology and minoring in Chinese studies at St. Lawrence University!
Hobbies: Spending time outdoors (hiking, biking, swimming, paddling, backpacking, rock climbing, etc...), climbing trees, reading, spending time with friends, sketching
Most recent accomplishment: Being awarded the IB Diploma after 2 years of hard work.
Favorite book? Americanah, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Last read? Plato's Republic, for a Philosophy class
What one word would you use to describe yourself? Fun-loving
What are you most proud of? My commitment to the Chinese language, (this is my 7th year taking it.)
What would I find in your refrigerator right now? Apple cider, cupcakes, cheese and lemonade.
