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
