Camile Brown recently received her Master of Science in Real Estate Development, with a focus on affordable housing. She has been with the Food Lab since June 2017, and currently serves as Lab Manager. Working directly with the Principal Investigator, Camile shepherds local and global projects from ideation to completion.

Camile enjoys painting and poetry in her spare time, and teaches others to draw as well. She encourages everyone to explore their artistic side. She says regardless of skill level, art allows one to have a “sense of release of one’s inner thoughts and feelings; it’s a way to tell a story in a provocative way; it’s a way to connect people; and, it’s plain fun!” Drawing on her creative talents, Camile intends to focus on the role of art in creating healing and affordable housing developments.
