Hello! My name is Sean, and I’m a second year undergraduate student majoring in general biology and an intern at the UW Farm.

Before my Spring internship I was a regular volunteer at the Farm. I first decided to volunteer in Fall 2021 and have been coming back ever since. Prior to the UW Farm, I helped clean up and maintain some community P-Patch gardens in the Seattle area.

My internship is focused on food security: harvesting, washing, weighing, packing, and logging everything we produce on the farm as it finds its way to various consumers. I have been volunteering so long that I have harvested and eaten many of the things that I started from seed and transplanted in the Winter.

I grew up in the Portland area and lived there until I graduated high school, then moved up to Washington to be closer to family. When I’m not on the Farm or in class, I like to tend to my personal garden at home and host game/dinner nights at my shared home. I really enjoy being out in the soil and hope to apply my degree and internship experience to small-scale urban farming.
