      <image:title>Interns - Summer Moeller Legislative Intern (they/she)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Summer is a vegetable farmer, designer, project manager, and facilitator working at the intersection of food, equity, and sustainability. While working at Rural Vermont, they're also wrapping up a MS in Food Systems at UVM, and doing research on Values-Operations Alignment at The Intervale. One of Summer’s core skillsets is Equity-Centered Design: the planning and facilitation of creative processes that move power and are accountable to community in order to address complex social or organizational issues. Summer also brings experience in software design, engineering management, DEI, racial justice curriculum design, and quantitative environmental modeling. When she's not farming or at her desk, you might find her partner dancing, swimming in a river, or making up silly songs with friends.</image:caption>
