Dawn Brighid – Marketing Manager
Interested in nutrition and healthy eating for over 20 years, Dawn has joined forces with Moopheus and crew to promote the sustainable food movement. Most recently, Dawn worked as a Holistic Health Counselor and was trained at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. As a health counselor, she educated people to balance their lives through nutrition and lifestyle choices. Even then, Dawn shared with her clients that eating sustainable food is a big part of living a happy, healthy life. Prior to health counseling, Dawn worked as a project manager at various financial, communications and fashion corporations in California and New York. She is happy to combine her project management background with her love of food to help people adopt a more sustainable outlook for their community. Dawn grew up in California and spent summers in Oregon eating vegetables out of her Grandparent's garden. Those fresh vegetables created picky taste buds that love organic and local foods. Cooking for friends is a passion, especially after a trip to the Park Slope Food Coop. She is excited to share The Meatrix movies with everyone!
