email: policy[at]ofrf.org

Jazea Kalea Smith (she/her/hers) is the newest Policy and Communications Intern at OFRF. Graduating this Fall from California Polytechnic University, Humboldt, with a B.A. in Religious Studies and a minor in Oceanography, Jazea plans to continue her education with a graduate degree focused on resource management and sustainable food systems. She’s passionate about organic research, and the good these necessary transitions can do for the planet. Jazea is from the San Francisco Bay Area, loves to hike with her dog, read, and watch The West Wing (likely how she developed such a love for politics)!
