Meet The Team

I'm a MSU senior majoring in Comparative Cultures and Politics with minors in Spanish, Economics, and International Development. When I'm not fighting for food justice, I love to bake and watch Steelers football!

I feel a call to end food insecurity, starting with my peers at Michigan State. While I study Political Theory & Constitutional Democracy, among other disciplines, I intend to pursue a career in domestic food policy. I strongly believe in the value of education and am thus resolved to care for students burdened by hunger and other food insecurities. When not in the classroom or on the grassroots frontlines, I enjoy cooking, football, leisure reading, and craft beer.

My name is Jay Lyon and I am a senior in James Madison College. I’m double majoring in Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy (PTCD) and Social Relations and Policy (SRP). I have been a member of SFSC since it’s foundation and I am the advocacy chair for the organization. I have been working hard this past summer on our Hunger Free Campus Bill campaign, and I can’t wait to see the progress we make this year.

I'm a recent graduate of MSU with a major in Comparative Cultures and Politics! I am currently applying to graduate programs and working on a JMC research team. I love traveling, hockey, coffee, and Pinterest!

My name is Olivia Heath and I am the service chair of SFSC. I’m a senior studying social work and social relations and policy, with a minor in behavioral studies and social services. After graduating, I hope to pursue a career in community organizing and child welfare. 

My name is Wes, and I’m a senior studying Dietetics at Michigan State. I have learned how food insecurity is critical in community nutrition issues and SFSC has been an outlet for me to enact change in my MSU and Lansing communities. I am passionate about teaching health through a nutritional-scope and I hope to become a registered dietitian in the future.

I’m Ashley Mathews, a Junior in James Madison College majoring in Social Relations and Policy and minoring in Science, Technology, Environmental, Public Policy and Leadership in Integrated Learning. I also work for the MSU Student Learning and Engagement office in their Sustainability Department as an EcoRep. My favorite thing about MSU is walking around the beautiful the campus to get to classes.

Hi, I'm Grace. I'm a sophomore Crop and Soil Science major, and I want to go into sustainable agriculture. I play saxophone, and I love cats. I also enjoy crocheting, traveling, and playing Dungeons and Dragons.

My name is Adam, a senior studying Political Theory & Constitutional Democracy and Economics with a minor in Spanish. In my free time, I enjoy running, reading, and going to concerts.
