    I grew up in the Bay Area surrounded by amazing food options but no way to get them all delivered at once. I started working on Locale in 2020 with my best friends, Chris and Kaveh, to do just that. I focus on our team's marketing efforts and growing our customer base. I'm passionate about expanding equitable access to local food and love to ski and surf.
