Editor’s note: Our Farmers Market Ambassadors Program rolled out this spring with four market ambassadors working with FM LIFE markets. This is the second in self-introductory blog posts.
My name is Sean Lopez, and I am the Petaluma Bounty Farmers Market Ambassador for the Sebastopol Farmers Market. I am a recent Sonoma State University graduate.
I believe in constant learning and growth, and am always seeking ways to better myself and widen my perspective. I love to exercise, take drives to the coast, and spend time with loved ones.
Having studied philosophy in college, I am passionate about issues of justice and ethics — of which food insecurity is especially prescient. I was drawn to this role because I believe that by strengthening local food infrastructures we can create a ripple effect towards lots of positive change within our communities and beyond. I have enjoyed being a part of the Petaluma Bounty team working toward such positive aims, and getting to know the manager, vendors, and patrons of the Sebastopol Farmers Market.
