Dorathy Okoli

Dorathy has a background in Food Technology and Human Nutrition. She is currently working as a Breakfast Chef while studying toward an MSc in Nutrition and Health Analytics at Munster Technological University in Ireland. Her key interests lie at the intersection of nutrition, data analytics, food and nutrition security with sustainable food systems.

Dorathy has also volunteered with food banks. She has helped with community farming, food processing, and food security projects. This includes organizing the Green Bazaar. She strongly believes in using insights from data and local initiatives to tackle food insecurity.

She is particularly passionate about reducing post harvest losses and improving access to nutritious foods. Her long term vision is to develop community based food processing hubs that enable farmers and communities to add value to their produce, reduce waste, and create sustainable food system solutions with lasting impact. 

Outside work and studies Dorathy loves to cook and her favourite place to be is the open air village farmers market – the fresh air, wet soil and fresh produce feels like heaven!!
