Meet our Staff
Brooke Mazurkewich (she/her)
Operations Manager
Originally from Calgary, Brooke started working with Moving Forward in May 2022 as our Food Security Intern and we were thrilled that, by the time she graduated from Mount Allison in May 2023, she had fallen in love with the Greater Dorchester community and accepted the position as our first full time Operations Manager! Brooke majored in International Relations and Sociology, with a minor in Community-Engaged Learning. She brings a ton of skills and passion to the Co-operative and has become an important and well-loved member of the community. We feel so lucky to have her on board!
Abigail Pond (she/they)
Food Security Intern
Abby joined our team in January 2024 as a food security intern. Originally from Truro, NS, she is in her 3rd year at Mount Allison University with a double major in Political Science and Sociology. She is committed to reducing the stigma surrounding food insecurity and introducing people to our space and Commuinty Fridge. Her passion for community involvement started as a child when spending her days off at her local food bank with her grandfather.
