Mary Dudley is the agriculture education instructor at James N. Gamble Montessori High School. She holds two master's degrees, one in botany and one in education. She lives in the Westwood neighborhood in Cincinnati with her husband and two young children. She loves to spend time outdoors in the garden, hiking in the woods and cooking healthy meals (in addition to sugary baked goods). Mary is eager to engage in the vital work of social justice as it relates to open access for healthy food options and safe outdoor spaces. Teaching students how to sustainably enjoy nature and cultivate their own food strengthens our entire community!
