Meet the Team


Tess is the PSU Smallwood Food Pantry Coordinator. She first started working in food banking in 2021 and knew right away that this was the field for her. When she came to PSU, Tess was excited to be able to help provide food to college students and work towards food security for all. She finds community in food, whether it takes the form of sharing a meal together, passing on recipes or helping to keep the pantry shelves stocked. When Tess isn’t in the pantry, you can find her baking, crafting in the sun or doting upon her cats, Pudding and Lottie.
