Sara Ribakove is passionate about eliminating food waste and preventing obesity in America.
While earning her undergraduate degree in public health at the University of Rochester, Sara founded a chapter of the Food Recovery Network (FRN). Through FRN, she donated leftover food from her campus dining halls to a local soup kitchen. After graduation, Sara worked for the organization in its Washington, DC office.
She continues her dedication through her current role as a Policy Associate at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, where she works to reduce obesity and improve the food environment. Sara enjoys working on food and nutrition policy at the intersection of corporate engagement and legislative policy.
She is also pursuing an MBA at Georgetown. “When advocates and industry build policy solutions together, the results will be more impactful and successful,” Sara said. “This is what the Bryce Harlow Foundation is all about, and why I’m proud to be a Fellow – ethical government advocacy helps lead to sound public policy.”
