Hayden Dansky, Executive Director

Diana Alvarado is passionate about working and engaging with people from different backgrounds. She came from a Colombian family that was always aware of food waste and how its waste impacts others around. She also grew up very aware and concerned about the limitations of food around the world. She has lived in many different Countries where food took on distinct values. Overall, she has learned to value food justice—waste, consumption, composting, etc.—as part of her life. Besides working, Diana enjoys hanging out with her four-legged dogs in the mountains! She loves to hike and enjoys being in nature. She is a psychologist with an MA in HR and has worked for many years with Latinx community. — Diana M. Alvarado, Participant Coordinator

Lou Creech dove into the world of food justice and access after witnessing the amount of food wasted in the film industry. They left the south and came to Colorado to work at a national food access non-profit, Share our Strength, in 2016 to further explore food systems and education. They would love to merge these their two passions of filmmaking and food equity in the future. They believe that food is a core tool for environmental and social change and are excited to learn more about these systems. — Lou Creech, Communications and Development Coordinator

Elizabeth is originally from Portland, Oregon. She moved out to Colorado 6 years ago to attend the University of Denver, where she studied Social Work. Since moving to Colorado she has been supporting community-led organizing, as a intern and then a community organizer. The past 4 years she worked as a community organizer at social and racial justice organizations, supporting members in taking leadership on campaign and organizational priorities. She is interested in BFR's work because of the community involvement and ownership of BFR's food distribution work, and is excited to join the BFR team in continuing to work along side communities directly impacted by food justice, social justice and systemic oppression through addressing food insecurity and food waste. Outside of work she enjoys spending time with her two dogs, Moose and Murphy. Her and her partner love to take the dogs on lots of hikes and Colorado adventures. She also loves to garden, and generally spend time outdoors, as well as travel and explore beautiful places in Colorado and beyond. — Elizabeth Murphy, Logistics Director

Board of Directors

Ina is a forever bicycle-lover and believes that access to healthy food should be a right not a privilege. On multiple levels, she is passionate about the work that Boulder Food Rescue accomplishes: eliminating food waste and increasing healthy food access, inhabiting the intersection of environmental and social justice locally, and operating as a thought leader in food justice and food systems globally. Ina is dedicated to creating a more just, equitable, and sustainable world for all. — Ina Sajovich, Board Chair

This Colombian native became passionate and started educating herself about the concepts of Food Systems and Food Justice shortly after migrating north in 2001. Simultaneously, Angela has formed herself as skilled language service provider (Spanish/English/American Sign Language) and in her short experience in this field she has gained a unique understanding around the community’s cultural and linguistic needs and has been able to facilitate and promote communication for the diverse Colorado population. Also, with her experience as an Urban Agriculture Educator and after receiving her Permaculture Certificate she has strengthened her commitment to serve the community. As a multicultural and multilingual individual she hopes to continue to contribute in the development of a resilient and sustainable community by building bridges between people, natural resources and the earth. Angela is also passionate about motherhood, music and dance. — Angela Maria Ortiz Roa

As a nutrition therapist, Ellen works with women to help them achieve and maintain their nutrition and health goals by making smart, mindful food choices. Ellen loves connecting with people over good food. When she is not working with clients, Ellen enjoys growing food in her backyard, dancing in the kitchen, sitting on front porch swings, riding her bike to the library, and sharing tasty meals with family and friends. — Ellen Teig

After moving to Colorado in 2005, Wendy researched healthy food access initiatives for the National Convergence Partnership while also serving as project coordinator for the “Gardens for Growing Healthy Communities” research project with the University of Colorado-Denver and Denver Urban Gardens. She joined the consulting firm Civic Results in 2007 to help staff the healthy schools and food access teams of the Metro Denver Health & Wellness Commission. Wendy launched her own firm, WPM Consulting, in May 2009. Since then, she has collaborated with numerous organizations—including LiveWell Colorado, LiveWell communities across the state, Colorado State University, Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, Hunger Free Colorado, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment—to work on a variety of projects aimed at leveraging our food systems to improve equitable access to healthy foods. — Wendy Peters Moschetti

All roads lead to Boulder Food Rescue for Marina. Often on her bike, Marina is aware of the food necessary to fuel a healthy, active lifestyle and the advantages and challenges that come with accessing both. Joining BFR as a volunteer when she moved back to Boulder in 2017, BFR provided community through movement, nutrition, and connection through the food delivery program and she is grateful to be able to share that perspective on the board. Her career has spanned various nonprofits over the last ten years, growing from a humble foundation of doing poverty alleviation work through AmeriCorps VISTA, and landing as the current Associate Director at Women’s Wilderness. She’s applied work and volunteer efforts to various aspects of social justice and enjoys thinking critically about possibilities that come at those intersections. — Marina Fleming
