Emily Vaughn is non-fiction writer and audio journalist with special interest in agriculture, science, and marginalized communities. As a Sustainability Fellow, she traveled to all six New England states to gather dozens of stories of people building a sustainable food future for the region. The portfolio of interviews and photographs she generated will enable her host organizations, Food Solutions New England and the New Hampshire Food Alliance, to take a storytelling approach in their work. Emily came to UNH with a graduate certificate in Documentary Studies from the Salt Institute in Portland, Maine and a BA in Biology from Kenyon College. Her background includes online campaigning and organizing for Slow Food USA, and graphic design for the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation. She is also a beekeeper, artist, and dog parent. Emily’s experience at UNH was a foundational step in building a full-time career as a radio and podcast producer. Following the fellowship, Emily was awarded the Peggy Girshman Science Desk Internship at National Public Radio, in Washington, D.C.
