Patrilie Hernandez

Patrilie Hernandez (they/she) has nearly 15 years of professional experience which has shaped their understanding of how the pursuit of "health" seamlessly intersects with the built environment, equity, and social justice. After initially working in the restaurant industry in both back and front of the house for over five years, they redirected their love for food to nutrition education, anti-hunger advocacy, and policymaking around food access and food justice. Since then, Patrilie’s interest in nutrition has broadened to working to address the other social determinants of health that influence individual and community well-being. Patrilie combines her academic background in culinary arts, anthropology, nonprofit management, and nutrition and works as a consultant, partnering with medical, healthcare, and education providers to integrate weight-inclusive, interdisciplinary, and multi-dimensional strategies that improve the health of historically marginalized populations.
