Background

About Annika Forester

My mission is to stimulate conversations and create innovative learning experiences where people discover their own capability, engagement and inspiration to take action. Through coaching and training, I help clients see and align themselves around what is most meaningful to them, to meet their goals at work and in life. My academic formation includes a degree in Spanish from UC Davis. With extensive coursework in biological and horticultural sciences, I also pursued a graduate-level Agriculture Education Credential at Davis. I first discovered my passion for adult education while organizing sustainable agriculture workshops for farmers. In my 25-year career, I have initiated high-impact, innovative, award-winning training programs in forward-thinking organizations ranging from worker safety to food safety and leadership development. I have focused my career in service to the people that work in agriculture. The daughter of a Dustbowl refugee, I consider farming a sacred craft. My work positively supports a pragmatic, prosperous and sustainable future for all stakeholders in the food production cycle. A 5th generation Californian, I have lived in Oregon, Washington, Mexico, Spain and Chile. My hobbies include sourdough bread baking, grey-water capture, and solar cooking while in the perpetual apprenticeship of parenting teens. aka common name misspellings: Anika Anneke Forrester
