An Upstate New York native, I was excited to return to the area to join the Cornell Small Farms Program team in the summer of 2018. As the program’s Communications Manager, I have worked to enhance and expand the program’s storytelling and outreach. These efforts can be seen on our website, social media, e-newsletter, magazine, and other platforms and print materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve worked in communications and journalism for more than a decade, with a primary focus on science and sustainability. I’m a graduate of Ithaca College with B.A.s in journalism and environmental studies. I then pursued an M.A. in Specialized Journalism, focusing on climate change science, at the University of Southern California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to my role at the Cornell Small Farms Program, I worked as a freelance content manager. I also previously worked as a journalist for Live Science, covering earth and environmental science, as well as technology and general science news. Prior to that position, I was the Editor\/Writer for USC Annenberg. In that role I managed all editorial and social channels for the school. Through this time I was also working as a freelance journalist for various publications. I’ve always enjoyed the role that writing can play in helping readers connect to the natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When not working as a storyteller, I spend a lot of my time in the kitchen. It’s my love of baking and cooking that pulled me into the local food movement, and one day I hope to start a small farm of my own.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":37551,"template":"single-people-item","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","_ecp_custom_2":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"project_collection":[],"class_list":["post-20335","people","type-people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"job_title":"Communications Manager","job_title_source":{"label":"Job Title","type":"text","formatted_value":"Communications Manager"},"author_archive_url":"https:\/\/smallfarms.cornell.edu\/author\/kld86\/","author_archive_url_source":{"label":"Author Archive URL","type":"url","formatted_value":"https:\/\/smallfarms.cornell.edu\/author\/kld86\/"},"display_email_address":"kacey.deamer@cornell.edu","display_email_address_source":{"label":"Display Email Address","type":"email","formatted_value":"kacey.deamer@cornell.edu"},"team_status":"Current","team_status_source":{"label":"Team Status","type":"select","formatted_value":"Current"},"team_type":"Staff","team_type_source":{"label":"Team Type","type":"select","formatted_value":"Staff"},"phone_number":"","phone_number_source":{"label":"Phone Number","type":"text","formatted_value":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smallfarmsupport.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/20335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smallfarmsupport.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smallfarmsupport.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/people"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smallfarmsupport.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smallfarmsupport.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smallfarmsupport.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_collection?post=20335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
