Newest Team Member - Layne Cozzolino



Layne Cozzolino
Health Educator
Communities Putting Prevention to Work





Layne has just joined the team as our newest Health Educator. Her experience comes from a variety of fields ranging from agriculture and food service to marketing and customer service. She moved to Central Wisconsin from Milwaukee to attend graduate school at UW-Stevens Point. Her interest in health and food policy brought her to study Nutritional Science with an emphasis in community food systems and sustainability. This past summer she lived and worked on an organic farm in order to learn about that aspect of the food system. Currently, she is researching Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) acceptance at farmer's markets.

Layne believes in the power of community and looks forward to helping Wood County learn more about healthy and sustainable living through several CPPW initiatives.
