REBECCA PICARD is an MA graduate in International Policy & Development from the Middlebury Institute for International Studies in Monterey, CA. She is committed to intercultural communication, bringing the female voice to male-dominated spaces, and international exploration.

Rebecca is also interested in all things food. Working in restaurants for 10 years steeped her in a passion for culinary diplomacy. She believes in food as a means for cross-cultural understanding, communication, and cooperation that can bridge divides and create peace. Viewing culinary diplomacy through the feminist lens, Rebecca sees women at the center of food movements and diplomacy, and their voices need to be heard. Connect with her on Linkedin.
