Tess Ellison | Program Manager

Tess Ellison is a recent economics graduate from Gonzaga University. She brings a background in data analysis, community development, and a deep belief in the power of local food systems to create real economic opportunity. With family roots in Mason County and a lifelong connection to the Pacific Northwest, Tess is excited to contribute to the work already underway supporting the farmers and entrepreneurs who feed and sustain this community. She is motivated by the intersection of economic justice and community resilience and plans to bring that lens to connecting local producers to the markets and resources they deserve. In her free time, Tess enjoys traveling, weightlifting, learning Italian, volunteering, and cheering on the Zags.
