About Asiago

Hola a todos! Me llamo Asiago. I am a recent graduate in Latin American Studies from The University of Texas at Austin. I am quite lucky in that hablo español and falo português! During my college years, I've traveled to several countries and realized that food is what connects us all around the globe. I believe that food should be accessible for all humanity. It doesn't matter if you at a street stand munchin' down Tacos al Pastor in Mexico City or sipping on a Brazilian Capirinha on Copacabana beach, we all have a relationship with food and working for Greenling I get to improve food access for my local community!
