Kimberly Yapias

Kimberly is excited to serve as the School and Family Garden Manager! As a liaison between Wasatch Community Gardens and the Salt Lake City School District, she grows relationships, maintains healthy gardens, and creates a sustainable school garden program with support from the district.

Kimberly graduated in Spring 2021 from the University of Utah with a degree in Biology and minor in Environmental Sustainability Studies. During her undergrad, she worked with the Salt Lake City School District as a summer school group leader and as a site coordinator for Utah Reads. Through Utah Reads, she worked closely with the Glendale Mountainview Community Learning Center in their after-school program and learned about the importance of community support and engagement when it comes to schools and kids.When she is not out at the garden, you can find her cooking dinner with her family, socializing with friends, and playing with random dogs.
