Selina is a native of East Chicago, Indiana, and
is co-founder of All Together Farming.
She has been interested in community gardening for many years and is
excited about bringing this activity to Tenino. She believes in community and professional involvement at many
levels and in the power of working with your neighbors. In these difficult economic times, Selina's
goals are to create community, involve the community in local activism and feed
people. Like her Beautiful Grandma used
to say, "Come, mija, come" (Spanish for "Eat, mija,
eat"). Keeping people well fed
with nutritious food means greater security, improved health and more brain
power which lead to a brighter future for us all. Selina has a Masters of Library and Information Science from the
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and is currently the Library Manager of
the Tenino Timberland Library.
