Having trained in environmental studies and economics with an engineering certificate at Wellesley College, Kelsey Gosch brings an interdisciplinary perspective to her work as a Research Affiliate in the UB Food Lab. In the lab, Kelsey focuses her work on food policy, supporting local and national projects (Growing Food Connections).

She has volunteered at small farms outside of Boston, MA, where she found her love for agricultural development and policy in both urban and rural settings. Currently she volunteers with Seeding Resilience Buffalo. During her spare time, Kelsey enjoys running and gardening.
