She/Her

With roots lying in much of Northern New Mexico, Mykayla's connection to this land is intertwined with generations of farmers and many summers spent exposed to the magic within the fields. Mykayla has worked on a variety of agricultural farms in many regions, on ecological restoration crews in the PNW, and with environmental activist groups like the Southwest Environmental Center in southern NM. Her creativity and passion centers connecting communities back into the land and amplifying the knowledge Mother Earth holds for all of us to move through. 

​

She is currently attending Santa Fe Community College, completing the Controlled Environmental Agriculture program, and hopes to bridge a connection between holistic food security, community, and health in New Mexico with her adoration for the medicinal uses of plants and empowering families. Her role is as La Milpa’s Administrative Co-Coordinator.
